Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
As Christmas day draws near, we have started doing lots of new and exciting activities in F1X.
When the children came in on Monday morning, we started playing our Christmas performance songs. They have been good at singing 'Tapping Away' and 'It's Christmas Time' not only during circle time but also when they are playing. Also this week, we have been learning some Christmas songs such as 'Jingle Bells' and 'A Chubby Little Snowman'. Most of the children are singing these songs using a range of musical instruments like jingle bells, drums, clickers, triangles and maracas. We've also made our classroom festive and bright by putting up Christmas decorations that the children made this week. They decorated a paper Christmas tree, Christmas socks, snowman and snowflakes! Our role play area has also been turned into a Christmas workshop area. The children are particularly good at wrapping presents and have also been riding Father Christmas' sleigh whilst saying 'Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!'. In our circle sessions, we continue to develop children's vocabulary and confidence through show and tell. We have also been showing the children video clips of Father Christmas reminding them to be good at all times so they can get presents. All the children enjoy watching the videos and are also becoming more familiar with the names of their friends. F1X children worked very hard this week and they all deserve a good rest! Well done everybody :)

Winter clothes
Please bring in any set of winter clothes for your child which will be used for our Christmas themed role play area. May we also ask you to label these to avoid losing anything. We will give these back just before our Christmas holidays. Thank you :)
