Nursery - Autumn 2 - Week 5
Date: 2nd Dec 2022 @ 8:13am
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
This week we have enjoyed learning all about ‘Birthdays’. We started the week by listening to ‘Kipper’s Birthday’ and discussed the different things that Kipper needed to do to prepare for his birthday party. Following on fron this, the Nursery children really enjoyed looking at their birthday celebration photographs and sharing their own experiences with the rest of the class. What fun everyone has had celebrating their birthday!
On Tuesday, the children came into the classroom to a special message from Ted, the class bear. He had written a letter to tell the children in Nursery that it is his birthday on Thursday and he would like the children to help to write invitations and plan his birthday party. Each of the children wrote an invitation and baked some delicious cakes, ready for the party. Each day we counted how many sleeps it was until Ted’s birthday party.
The 1st of December came and the children were thrilled with a surprise visitor who had come to Nursery. Our class Elf had arrived and left trails of glitter everywhere around the room. Elf had left a gift and a letter for the children in Nursery. After a long discussion we decided to call her ‘Tinsel’. She had requested that the Nursery children could use their helping hands to decorate the classroom and make it look like Christmas. We had so much fun working together to make our room sparkle.
Thursday came and it was time for Ted’s birthday party! The children gave Ted a lovely birthday gift of some new shoes and a guitar, which he had said he had always wanted. The children counted the number of candles that Ted had left for them and realised that it was Ted’s 4th Birthday. We ate the delicious cakes that the children had made in preparation, played pass the parcel and designed birthday cards. What a lovely birthday Ted had with all of his friends in Nursery.
To finish the week the children went to the Christmas Extravaganza and visited Santa’s Grotto. The children had so much fun exploring the different Christmas activities and visiting Santa to tell him what they would like him to bring for Christmas.
Nursery have all been super stars practicing for their Christmas sing-a-long this week. We have practiced on the big stage in the hall and can’t wait to perform for everyone next week!
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all next week!
Best wishes,
Miss Dalley and the Nursery team.
