Well can you believe we
have reached the end of our very first term...and what a packed one it was too!
As our Christmas preparations draw to a close, I am sure you are all gearing up at home and that the Christmas excitement is making everyone smile at home!
This week’s blog is to let you know what is happening during this week and also, we have included a few festive sites to keep everyone occupied whilst the cleaning fairies organise the housework for the big day!
Monday
Dust off those party frocks and best clothes, as Monday sees our fantastic Christmas party! The children have worked really hard all term, so now is the chance for them to let their hair down and boogie the afternoon away. The children will be allowed to come to school ALL DAY in their own clothes, complete with hair gel, glitter and perfume!

Santa’s elves have been
very busy wrapping all the gifts for the children AND organising all the party
food. The Elf’s and Pixies have been fantastic this week, making sure that all
the children will have a great time – a huge thank you!
Friday
The last day of term,
sees a real treat. Our Christmas Carol Service, led by Years 5/6 will be held
in the hall at 9.15am.
The afternoon sees the
Parent’s Panto. It is always a really fantastic production and a fitting end to
the year. All the children, (and staff) leave the hall in festive mood, ready
to start our preparations at home.
Festive Fun
Lots of the children
enjoy using the websites given on the blog every week. All of the sites, links
and activities on the site are used in class to support our learning, but every
now and again, we include sites which are ‘just for fun’.
Write a letter to Santa and see the reply
appear before your very eyes!
A real favourite of mine! The disco dancing
Santa is fabulous!
A very interesting site, explaining all about
the customs and traditions of Christmas.
I loved this story! Maybe one for Christmas
Eve?
This made me giggle! Get
the penguin to write your name in the snow. What about trying this to help with
the spelling of those tricky words?
Rudolf is missing! Read this lovely
interactive story with your child. A great way of developing those
comprehension skills.
Decorate the online Christmas tree
Build your very own snowman...without getting
your hands cold!
Some great ideas for Christmas crafts to do at
home, using all those empty boxes.

Christmas crafts
Why not sing through
some of these traditional Christmas Carols in preparation for Friday’s service?
Although these are based on American ‘grades’,
some of these Christmas themed Maths worksheets are still really useful.
Lots of Christmas online activities to try. I
really like the writing ideas, which use a framework and a word bank to help.
Why not print some off to bring in to show?
On behalf of all the
staff, we wish you a very happy, peaceful and holy Christmas. We hope that
Santa brings you everything you ask for and that we all return safe and happy
in the New Year. School starts again at 8.45am on 6th January 2015.
Merry Christmas!!!
Love from
The Key Stage One team. XX
