Festive Learning

The focus of learning over the past few weeks has been around the celebration of Christmas. Children have been learning about how some Christians celebrate Christmas and why.
Children have been shopping for ingredients to make spiced milk, festive gingerbread and salt dough decorations. 
There has been a strand of learning around writing, with children writing letters to Father Christmas, with some using phonic knowledge to sound out words! 
We have been decorating our school with traditional trees and sharing Christmas stories.
Some children have been making cards and baubles, making choices about their designs.
Last week, some children started to learn about the story of the Nativity.
This week we have the costumes out for children to explore and direct the roles as they act out the First Christmas.

There has been lots of singing and bell ringing.
Please join us in the garden this Wednesday 14 December at 2.45pm for Christmas Carols around the campfire. 
Christmas Party day is Tuesday 20 December.
All children to come to school at 9am: school closes at 12pm.

We would like to wish all our families celebrating, a lovely Christmas and a happy and healthy new year to you all.

See you on 4 January 2023 - remember we have an INSET day/school is closed on 6 January.
