Week ending 

Wednesday 20th December, 2023

Dear Families,

Over the past two weeks we have been learning about Christmas! We have explored the questions, "What is Christmas?" and "How do people celebrate Christmas?". We have thoroughly enjoyed getting into the festive spirit by decorating our class Christmas tree and even made our own decorations! We were very lucky to enjoy a visit from a pantomime and of course, loved performing for you all at our Winter sounds concert. 

As our first term in Nursery ends, we reflect on just how far the children have come since September, and thank you all for your continued support. We are wishing all of our families a safe and restful break and hope you have a very merry Christmas!

We look forward to seeing you return in the New Year

Best wishes from the Nursery Team
