Autumn Term Week 14
What a fantastic last week we have had, full of Christmas fun and joy and music and dancing! Today we finish for the Christmas break for two weeks and we are due back Monday 4th January to start the new year 2021! Do keep an eye on your emails just in case of any COVID changes to the opening dates!
The children are certainly looking forward to Christmas and have really enjoyed seeing our Elf Buddy in his curiosity cube and have told us lots of funny stories about what their elves have been up to in their homes – toilet roll around the tree and making a mess and eating all the chocolates!
We have sparkly Christmas playdoh out which smells of cinnamon and we also did two sing-a-longs with St Andrews on Tuesday and Willowbank on Thursday! It was great fun to sing our songs to them and see their faces and recognise old friends! We heard their songs too which were brilliant and we have really missed going out and about to visit the schools so we hope things can return to normal at some point in 2021.
Thank you again for all the lovely cards and gifts that you have given us, we have saved some of the choccies for January as we know they will be needed in that first week!
The sun and moon circle times have been super busy – making Christmas crowns, Christmas tree cards, decorating Christmas jumpers, playing Christmas bingo, they enjoyed a game of pass the parcel which Alison won as it was her birthday and it contained her present from Michelle! We have played party games, coloured in Elf pictures, learnt some Christmas cosmic yoga moves and made a giant gingerbread man picture!
The Stars have also been fully immersed in Christmas! Christmas craft, reindeer faces and party games and Santa says and snowball throwing!
We had a really good key person meeting on Monday and chatted about all the progress the children have made this term and we are really pleased with how everyone is getting along! We will be sharing the progress with you in January and will be working out the best way of doing that – perhaps a virtual parents evening!
We would like to wish you all a really happy, safe and COVID free Christmas and a Happy start to 2021 and we look forward to welcoming you all back to pre-school for a busy and happy Spring Term!
