The children have been taking part in a variety of Christmas related activities, including creating cards and decorations to give to loved ones . . . Here are a few of the completed ones . . . We have also been creating repeating patterns with a Christmas related theme! Megan chose to use the trees, repeating the sequence of decorated followed by un-decorated. She used the size-related vocabulary of 'enormous' and 'tiny' to describe them. Bootsy chose to use both the stars and the Christmas trees to create her pattern, repeating the sequence of a tree followed by a star. When describing the size of each, she used the vocabulary of 'big', 'medium' and 'small'. On the last day of term, we had a very special visitor . . . He brought some lovely presents for us all to share, the crocodile rocker was a definite favourite! We are also looking forward to exploring the wooden farm, the wheel garage with a car and the caterpillar rainmaker when we return to Nursery in January. On behalf of everyone at Little Conkers, we would like to wish you all a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We have been supporting Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day! Thank you to everyone that made a donation This week we have been so proud of the children as they have taken part in our Early Years Foundation Stage Nativity 'The Lonely Little Sheep' There were sheep and shepherds As well as angels and stars It was lovely to see so many of you joining us for each performance, and I'm sure that you would agree the children were absolutely wonderful! The children have been excited to see our Christmas tree decorated and lit up in the Nursery this week and they have been busy practising with the Reception classes ready for our two performances of 'The Lonely Little Sheep'. We have been talking about the story of baby Jesus and the children have enjoyed making the link between the characters that they are playing themselves in our own Nativity such as sheep, shepherds, angels and stars. For those of you that are able to come and join us for the performances next week, we hope that you enjoy them! This week we have been enjoying 'The Gruffalo's Child' by Julia Donaldson . . . The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should Ever set foot in the deep dark wood As we shared the story together, the children excitedly predicted which character would
be revealed next as the Gruffalo's Child went in search of the Big Bad Mouse! They also enjoyed hearing what each of them said the Mouse would be doing such as eating gruffalo cake or gruffalo pie and drinking gruffalo tea! Last week we had had fun making shadows linked to the story of Night Monkey, Day Monkey and this week we came across another shadow - this creature was big, bad and strong. He had a tail and some whiskers that were terribly long, his ears were enormous and over his shoulder he carried a nut as big as a boulder - can you guess who it was? Throughout the story there were different prints in the snow - as the weather is getting colder we might have some snow of our own soon! Perhaps you could wrap up warm and go outside to make some different trails for your family and friends to follow! |
