December Christmas Fun 2012 Party Time

Dolphins December 2012

Christmas Fun

We have had to become very confident in using scissors in Dolphin room for our Christmas craft activities. 

The 2-year-olds are cutting cards for their Christmas cards using one hand to manouvre their scissors.

We have made cards, masks, calendars and tree decorations during December.

Christmas Lunch

Chefs Petra and Ottie made us a delicious roast chicken Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.





Guess what! We even all had at least one sprout to try.







 It was really nice to sit with all of the grown-ups, too. I hope the adults ate all of their vegetables before having the amazing Chocolate log and Cheesecake for desert.

Pigs in blankets!

You will never guess who came to Nursery...
that's right,
Father Christmas came to see us and bought every room a present.

 After lunch we were able to open the present

 Thank you, Father Christmas, for our Cogs and Marble run.

Christmas Party

We began by dancing to some christmas songs and playing musical bumps.

The entertainer was a funny  man called Paul. We all sat while he performed magic tricks.

Chelsea was one of the volunteers to help Paul paint a magic picture .

After all the dancing and laughing it was time for party snack and drinks.

We also had a chance to see the stage where we would perform our Nativity.

Halloween and Bonfire fun with visit from Vet

October 2012-November 2012 Dolphin Room

We had a fantastically spooky time making bats and reading stories such as 'Winnie the Witch' and our favourite 'Room on the Broom' to celebrate Halloween.

Some children even thought they would try to fly away on their broom sticks. 

Firework Fun

We had such messy fun creating our own firework pictures. For this we filled balloons with paint and water. We had to throw the balloons hard to make them explode on the black paper.

The day the Vet came

We were so grateful to Leanne the Vet who bought in her giant Rabbit and spoke to the children about caring for animals.
The children have then continued to Role play with our new Vets case looking after teddies and toy animals.

Thank you, Generous Families: Our Operation Christmas Child 2012

We are so blessed to have such caring and generous Families who have helped make the Operation Christmas Child a success. Thank you very much!

The children proudly (and rather excitedly) carried their wonderful gifts up the road.

Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree!

Baubles and tinsel everywhere...

The children helped put the Christmas tree up in Elephant Room and found it was trickier than it looked!

First the tree...
then the lights...
then the chains...
then the tinsel...
then the baubles... 

then more baubles...

and yet more baubles!

(Maybe one more bauble won't hurt!)

Our First Nativity Practice is in Full Swing!

Our First Nativity rehearsals:

The children in Dolphin and Elephant Rooms have been practicing very hard to give our dear Parents a Nativity they will be very proud to watch!

Please don't forget the date: 12th December 2012 at 10.30 am at the Frome Football Club... see you there!

A little drawing of the Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus

Look at what panda's have been up too!!

 We practiced our balancing and climbing skills.

 We took it in turns to climb up and down.

 I liked the texture of the wet leaves outside!!

I also liked throwing them up in the air.

 I liked to splash my hands in the water tray.

I also liked the feel of the shells, some were smooth and some were bumpy.

Splish Splash !!!!

 We all had fun exploring different ways of playing with the water, leaves and shells.

 We have also been combining flour, water and ice cubes to see what happens.

 The flour went all gooey and it was tricky to get off our hands.

 We have been making car tracks using cars and paint.

 Brmmmm Brmmmm!!!

We liked to cover our selves in paint!!!!








It was lots of fun!!
