We all had a lovely time at our Christmas party today. This morning we played games, sang songs and danced with our friends. This afternoon we all sat around the Christmas tree and sang Christmas songs. We were then surprised by a special visitor – Santa Claus, who brought us all a Christmas present. It was then time to eat our party food. What a wonderful day was had by all.

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

On Wednesday 12TH December we got all wrapped up, loaded the minibus and went to Alnwick Garden for our Christmas fun day.

When we arrived we were greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy and 2 of Santa’s elves, dressed in their colourful Christmas clothes.

The Sugar Plum Fairy was there to help us with our fun activities in the Christmas Wonderland. She showed us all the beautiful Christmas trees, giant toy soldiers, Christmas gifts, fairy lights and twinkling icicles – what a magical wonderland.

Next we went to see Santa in his cabin, where we sang songs and all got a gift off Santa – we must have been very good. After visiting Santa, we had a short playtime on the tractors before heading to Santa’s workshop.

Santa’s elves helped us to make Christmas reindeer decorations to go on our trees, we danced and sang, and then helped the elves to find the lost toys to go in Santa’s sleigh.

By this time we were really tired and hungry so had our lunch before heading off to the ice rink.

What fun we had sliding around and playing in the ‘snow’.

After a fantastic and fun day it was time to head back to school.

What a wonderful day we all enjoyed.

What great fun we’ve had this week getting ready for Christmas. We have been very busy painting Christmas trees, decorating the classroom, learning about the Nativity and of course dressing up as Santa – we can’t wait for next week when we go to Alnwick Gardens to meet Santa himself and see what other treats are in store for us.

We had a wonderful time helping Edosa celebrate his 5th birthday by having a party. We played ‘pass the parcel’, danced with balloons and shared some delicious food and cake.

Wow how lucky were we when The Magic Matt Show came into school on Tuesday afternoon to show us his magic tricks and circus skills. He made hankies disappear, juggled and rode his unicycle he was very clever.

On Monday Vikki from Bag Books came into school to read us a sensory story called ‘What am I?’, we got to feel lots of different boards to find out about all the different animals in the story – what a real treat!

We all came into school dressed up for Children in Need day. We used yellow wool, tissue paper, glitter and crayons to colour in our Pudsey Bear pictures. During our special assembly we were lucky enough to get a visit from Pudsey himself!

We had great fun making our fruit cakes for a special occasion that we are not suppose to mention until December the 1st!!! We mixed sugar and butter, added eggs, sieved flour then mixed in the fruit. Mmm they smelt and tasted delicious!

We had a wonderful time helping Emma celebrate her 5th birthday by having a party. We played ‘pass the parcel’, danced with balloons and shared some delicious food and cake.
