A chilly start to December

Friday 03 December 2021

It’s been a really cold start to December but we’re beginning to look forward to Christmas at Nursery. Our Advent calendar is up and we’ve decorated the class Christmas tree with lights and baubles. Our focus book for this week has been ‘The Christmas Story’ and the children have enjoyed hearing about Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. We’ve been very busy doing lots of learning and have made some repeating patterns using pom-pom baubles. We’ve also been writing Christmas cards, decorating stars and printing ‘fairy lights’ with corks. Our Home Corner is looking very festive with stockings hanging above the fireplace and the children have been serving Christmas lunch to each other. Santa has sent ‘Elvis the elf’ to keep an eye on things in the run-up to Christmas; unfortunately, he’s a bit naughty and he has been hiding things (including himself) in the classroom! Every day, the children have been solving clues to find where he is and to spot what has moved in our room. We’re all looking forward to being detectives again next week.
