Santa’s Workshop & Baby Jesus

We could not be prouder of the children this week as they rehearsed and performed their amazing Christmas show; ‘Santa’s Workshop’.  I think we can all agree that their singing, dancing and smiling sprinkled some much needed Christmas joy throughout our appreciative audience.  A huge thank you to our parents for these incredible costumes and for your support both at home and on the day.

Here are our audience stage reviews (as reported via the performers):

Despite all the excitement of the show, we also took some time this week to remember the story of Baby Jesus and why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.  We read the story of ‘The Nativity’ as told by May Eliot and Richard Johnson, which you can revisit here:

We also managed to squeeze in a couple of phonics lessons (in fact, there are always loud complaints from the children if we have to miss these lessons!).  We learnt two new sounds.  These are the final single sounds we will be learning.

And here we are practising our CVC sound blending with our carpet partners, using our reading sticks to carefully ‘Fred-talk’ the words on each page:

Have a lovely weekend everyone and see you on Monday!
