Santa came to FS2

We were very surprised to hear "Ho ho ho" this afternoon. Santa came into FS2 to deliver a present.

Thank you Santa for our new wooden castle.

Time for more party food

Party Day

It's not quite 11 o clock and we've already eaten some quavers and biscuits!!!!!!

There's been lots of lovely playing with our toys. A few photos....

Christmas activities

Today we made Christingles using oranges, red tape, sweets, dried fruit and a candle.

Can you remember what each part represents?

Christmas counting

There are lots of lovely things to count on the discovery table this week. Here is a photo of two friends counting beads and sorting the Penguin stackers into size order.

Counting bead strings

Some of the bead garland has been cut into segments of 1-20 beads. Today a group of children were challenged to count the beads and order them. They were very pleased when they succeeded. 

Decorate the wooden tree

The finger gym challenge is to decorate the tree using the loose parts available. It's looking very festive 

Christmas Trees on the light panel

Lots of children have enjoyed playing on the light panel today. Here are some Christmas trees they have made.

Buddy the elf

Buddy seems to like playing hide and seek with us. So far he has hidden in the stocking and up high on the cupboard. On Thursday he was having a look at Moby and the baby snails.

I wonder if he will still be in the reading area on Monday? Are you enjoying reading the books Buddy leaves for us under the tree? 

Treasure Hunt

The children went on a treasure hunt today around the outdoor classroom. They had to read the word to open up the clue. 

Have you heard?

Santa has been in touch and sent a magic elf called Buddy to stay in FS2. He has warned us that Buddy can be mischievous but I'm sure he will be sitting next to my laptop when we come to school tomorrow.

Buddy was inside the bag with the letter from Santa. 

Buddy gave us a present too, it was a new book for our book area.
