🎄 A Visit from Elsie the Elf

This week we welcomed Elsie the Elf, who has been causing lots of mischief and bringing plenty of giggles! The children have loved following the Elf Rules and are already eager to see what she gets up to next.

✏️ Scribble Club Adventures

In Scribble Club, we read Geronimo and discovered that penguins have wings but cannot fly—yet we can still dream and imagine! The children enjoyed practicing drawing their very own penguins.

🎨 Christmas Creativity

• We decorated our Christmas tree and explored our sparkly sensory tray, experimenting with posting ornaments down tubes—asking “Do they fit? Do they go fast or slow?”
• The children continued making delicate Christmas cards, carefully choosing how they wanted to decorate them.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Groups

In family groups, we:

• Listened to and learned about different instruments.
• Practiced our Welsh phrase “Pwy wyt ti?” (Who are you?). Please try this at home and see if your child can answer!

❄️ Outdoor Discoveries

Our animals were frozen once again, this time into icebergs, inspired by our book Geronimo.

In Nursery the children also asked to play Crocodile Dentist, where they listened well, took turns, and laughed out loud when the crocodile snapped their fingers!

🔤 Phonics Fun

We met the Monster Phonics teddies and remembered all their names. This week’s focus was the sound B, and the children enjoyed colouring their favourite Monster Phonics pictures.

🐺 PE Highlights

We ended the week with a nursery favourite-“What’s the Time, Mister Wolf?”-which brought lots of excitement and energy.

🎅 Christmas Stay & Play

It’s been a busy week, and we even managed to fit in more practice for our Christmas Stay and Play on Thursday, 18th December.
