We have had a nativity filled week this week, with both performing and spectating! On Thursday we performed our nativity for the residents at Greenacres. The children did really well and the audience enjoyed it immensely, joining in with the carols and songs that they knew.

Two of our children had bought presents for the residents, which were greatly appreciated.

We also made a card to give to everyone at the care home.

This was our last visit to Greenacres this year. I’m sure you’ll agree that it has been a wonderful experience for everyone. We are very much looking forward to continuing the relationship in the new year.

On Friday we were invited to big school to watch the foundation nativity. We were so impressed with the foundation classes and it was absolutely lovely to see how the children who used to come to preschool have blossomed since their move up. These links with foundation are very important to us and really help to make the move to primary school as smooth as possible. Thank you to Mrs Stapleton and Miss Watts for a fantastic show! 👏👏👏

This week we did some large group Christmas craft, creating some festive murals for our display boards. The children worked cooperatively to decide how to decorate the cut outs and I’m sure you’ll agree that they did a great job!

We decided to put a tip that we picked up on a training course into practise this week. As I’m sure you’ll know, it can be hard to get boys to sit and practice their fine motor skills, but when we stuck the paper underneath the table, they suddenly found this activity a lot more fun!
