Christmas is coming and Nursery have been getting ready!
We have been writing letters to Santa Claus and were very excited about a trip to the post-box to post them!
We read a book called Rosie's Walk and thought about Rosie's journey around the farm yard. We changed the story into Nursery's Walk, thinking about what we would pass on our way to the post box.
We walked the story on our giant story map, using words like under, over, through, round and next to.
We really enjoyed posting our letters and spotting all the things we used in our Nursery Walk story, on the way.
Our role play is now Santa's workshop and little elves have been busy writing Christmas cards, addressing envelopes and wrapping presents.
We have been thinking about the Nativity story and making nativity books and baubles for our class advent calendar.
We used small world props to retell the Nativity story
In Busy Fingers we have used tiny objects like shells and buttons to make number shapes.
We've enjoyed using the corn flour as a snowy landscape for penguins and polar bears.
We've had fun developing our fine motor skills by making Christmas stars.
We decorated the trees outside with Christmas decorations.
Phew! What a busy week. We've still got a child's entertainer coming to visit us.
We will be continuing our Christmas theme next week and our Nativity is on Tuesday. Please could you bring in white or yellow clothes in a named plastic bag by Monday at the latest but please don't buy anything especially.
You could help your child at home by using positional language such as in, under, through, beside etc. and by playing games with your child where they place toys in different positions and tell you where they've placed them.
