December 2017 Christmas Festivities!

We’ve shared some heart-warming celebrations throughout December.

Christmas Lunch

The festivities started with the children’s Christmas lunch in mid-December. The children donned their hand-made reindeer hats and despite their obvious excitement – and the fact there were crackers to pull! – sat beautifully throughout.

The children enjoyed turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, vegetables – a few even tried the Brussel sprouts – followed by yummy yule log and ice cream!

We could be wrong but we think Jake’s enjoying his chocolate cake!

Nursery Christmas Concert

Our Nursery Christmas Concert is a very special event for all our children and parents. This year began with the Babies’ and Toddlers’ Christmas event – it was lovely seeing so many little (and big!) smiling faces.

The babies and toddlers then joined our Pre-school children in the Sports Hall for their concert of Christmas songs and carols. We’re sure you’ll agree the children sung beautifully.

It was fantastic to welcome so many parents and carers to share the concert and catch up over nibbles and drinks afterwards.

Celebrations culminated in a traditional Christmas party earlier this week where the children played pin the nose on the reindeer, pass the parsnip, plus many more games. Everyone dressed up for the event too. The children had lots of fun, but you can probably guess which part was the highlight…the party tea!
