We have had a very exciting week as Father Christmas visited
us at school! He left some footprints and a magical letter asking the children
to reply and to write their Christmas lists. The children have been very busy using
their phonic knowledge to write back to Father Christmas. He will be collecting
the letters at the Christmas Fayre.
We also caught Father Christmas arriving at the yurt on CCTV
– take a look!
The children have been very lucky as 2 of Father Christmas’
elves have visited us at school, try to spot where they are in the morning!
Every morning we have been counting down the sleeps until Christmas
day and writing the number on a board- the children get very excited about
this! Perhaps you could do this at home with your child to help with knowledge
of numbers.
We have also been learning about why we celebrate Christmas and
the nativity story and we have been learning some songs which the children will
be singing to you at the end of the Christmas craft morning.
We have also been learning about Hanukah. Can your child
tell you why Jewish people celebrate Hanukah?
The children have been busy decorating their Christmas cards
ready to bring home to you at the end of term.
When you come to the Christmas fayre, don’t forget to take a
look at our new display in the hall! The children used shapes to make pictures
of themselves. From this, we found that some children are struggling with shape
recognition. Perhaps you could look for shapes in the environment with your
child at home.
