A Busy Christmas Week
Father Christmas and his elves are going to be even busier now after receiving the children’s Christmas wish lists. We talked about the importance of giving and how even though it is joyous to open up new toys on December 25th, the greatest gift of all is to love and be loved. The postal rooms and workshop were the hive of activity as the children set to work weighing and wrapping up gifts, looking up addresses and sticking stamps in the corner of envelopes to send off to the North Pole.
All was quiet (as can be) in the Nursery classrooms until we heard a thud! Mistletoe the mouse came rolling in with our Christmas tree and a present. Inside was a set of decorations and a note. “I have been sent by your cuddly friends Max and Maisy to deliver this gift to help you get into the festive spirit”. We had a jolly time putting the baubles up high and down low, and finished with a story called “Lettice”, about a Rabbit who peeps out of her burrow to find her world covered in snow on Christmas day.
Key dates next week…
Saturday 30th November– Holmewood House Christmas fair, 12-4pm.
Monday 2nd December– Nativity tech and dress rehearsal in the Theatre 9.30-10.30am. This will be filmed.
Tuesday 3rd December– “We Three Kings” Nativity production in the Theatre 9.30-10.30am. Followed by Christmas jumper day and Christmas lunch.
Please bring your child to Nursery wearing their Christmas jumper, and we will change them in and out of their costumes for the Nativity.
We hope to see you at the Christmas fair and wish you and your families a restful weekend before the flurry of merriment next week.
Warm wishes, The Nursery Team
