The children have enjoyed mark making outside in artificial snow and shaving foam, developed hand eye coordination by feeding the reindeer, created some beautiful christmas prints using cooking cutters and role played drinking hot chocolates with marshmallows made with cocoa at our hot chocolate station.

Tomorrow we have a Green Top Express ready for some Polar Express themed play. It’s certain to say we are in the full swing of festive fun and we are so excited for our Wriggly Nativity play tomorrow.

This weeks Christmas story is ‘Mr Bear’s Christmas. The children have enjoyed watching the story, painting their own Mr Bear using forks to create texture. We also talked about what we would see, hear and smell at a Christmas party. The children all thought of some wonderful ideas and sounds like some of you are going to have a very merry time this Christmas!

If you would like to watch Mr Bear’s Christmas at home here is the link for you to enjoy this very sweet Christmas tale.

The children have loved making their own Reindeer food this afternoon with Miss Myers. The children carefully mixed their oats, glitter and corn then decorated their packet to look like a reindeer. We hope the children love sprinkling this in their garden on Christmas Eve.

Sending a huge thank you to all those who joined us for our Christmas craft family learning this morning. We hope you enjoyed all of the activities we had on offer. I know the children and nursery staff all loved it and were buzzing with sugar after eating those delicious ‘christmas party biscuits’.

A big thank you to East Riding Christmas Trees who have donated a large selection of Christmas tree cuttings for our Nursery Christmas craft family learning next week. 

A reminder that family learning in Nursery is on Wednesday 4th December 9-10am. 
We hope as many parents and carers can join us for what will be a fun filled morning. 

The children have been working really hard in maths this week. We have been consolidating our learning of identifying and representing numbers 1-5. Here are some children using loose parts to touch count to 5.

I wonder…

Can you practise writing numbers 1-5 at home?

Can you find 1 – 5 objects?

Can you order number 1 -5 with a grown up?

Please send any additional work to Mrs Hay or Mrs Burton or email to [email protected]

Happy learning!

The children have been so excited this week and the Christmas magic seems to be in the air already. We have enjoyed rummaging through the Christmas storage boxes and putting up a few decorations and trying on some nativity costumes.

We were enjoying mother nature today and explored the snow! Lots of fun and laughter had by children and staff building our beautiful Nursery Crew.
