This week we are reading The Night Before Christmas. We will look at some of the more unusual words in the poem. We will also think about the things we do before Christmas.
It will be a fairly relaxed week in Nursery, finishing off anything that needs to be done before the holidays. We have our Christmas Party on Wednesday morning (8.45-11.45am), including a special visitor if we are very good!
What's coming up next week?

Aliens Love Panta Claus & Christmas Arrangements
In Nursery this week we are going to read "Aliens Love Panta Claus" by Clare Freedman and Ben Cort. The story is about the aliens who go to help Santa. They do all sorts of things with the pants, such as hanging them up instead of a stocking, dressing up the elves in frilly pants and exchanging Santa's sack for a pair of bloomers!
This week we will be making our calendars to take home next week. We will be thinking about Christmas traditions and how to prepare for Christmas. We will talk about things we would do on Christmas Eve, for example, putting out mince pies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. As our story is about aliens in underpants, we will be making our own special pants. We will have lots of collage materials to decorate our own pants shapes. We also have our Christmas Play on Wednesday morning.
Ways to help at home this week
Talk about the traditions you and your family have at Christmas time. What do you do on Christmas Eve? Christmas Day? Boxing Day?

Dear Father Christmas
This week in Nursery we are reading a story called Dear Father Christmas written by Jeanne Willis. This story is about a little girl who writes a letter to Father Christmas. She asks for some very different presents, such as a spray to keep the scary monsters away and special snow to make her snowman come to life!
We will be making our Christmas decorations and calendars ready for the end of term. On Wednesday we will be having a dress rehearsal for our Christmas play next week. Please remember that the play will involve everyone in Nursery on Wednesday morning and we will be closed for the afternoon session on Wednesday, 11th December.
We will be going outside this week to have a Winter Picnic. We will have hot food and hot chocolate to drink, as well as talking about ways to keep warm in the cold weather.
Ways to help at home this week
Continue practising our Christmas songs for the play. If you need another copy of the song words, please see a member of staff.
Christmas Cards
Our Christmas post box will be in the Nursery from this week. A list of Nursery children is available in the Nursery porch if you need it for sending cards.
Christmas Lunch
Christmas lunch in school is on Monday, 16th December. If your child does not normally stay for lunch or attends Nursery in the second half of the week we would like to invite them to join us for lunch on that day. A school Christmas lunch will cost £1.80. If you would like your child to come to Nursery for their Christmas lunch, please fill in the form available from the Nursery and return it by next Wednesday so that we can confirm numbers with the kitchen staff.
