This week there has been a lot of excitement as some families have been putting up their trees and decorations at home. We have been sharing the children's understanding of Christmas, and some of the traditions that they have, here are just a couple of their responses . . . Lola - "It snows and you put your Christmas tree up and you put the decorations up." Lola then went on to say "Christmas pudding! And Santa gets to visit our house." When asked why he visits, Lola replied "Because he gives us lots of presents!" Harry C - "Me and my daddy went to town to see the Christmas lights. One was broken. I already put put my decorations up. I gonna go asleep and I wake up and see all the presents and I will see Santa!" For one of our activities we had a Now Press Play immersive story telling session where the children listen through headphones, responding to the instructions of the narrator to take on the roles of the different characters and act out the main events. On this occasion, we acted out the Christmas story and afterwards the children shared some of their favourite parts and we compared them to our Nativity performance which we are looking forward to next week . . . Delilah told us "A baby was born in Bethlehem" Freya added "The baby was called Jesus" Jack recalled "Jesus was born in the stable" We also talked about the gifts that baby Jesus received - if you could have gone to visit him in the stable, what special gift would you have taken?
