They made paper chains, reindeers, Christmas playdough and much more! The children learned new songs and rhymes and a poem about a snowman. We held a Christmas party and played party games such as musical statues and musical chairs. The children made a sleigh out of the wooden blocks and travelled around the world!

Each day of 'World Nursery Rhyme Week', the pre-school and reception children met to sing songs and rhymes together. They learned some new British Sign Language signs to use whilst singing. On the Friday, we had a 'dress up' day when the children and teachers dressed up as their favourite characters. The children were sponsored by family and friends to see how many rhymes they could sing in ten minutes. They had snack together and then played outside. It was a wonderful week!
