A Very Nursery Nativity
This week we performed our ‘Very Nursery Nativity’. We were so excited to do our nativity a little bit differently this year and the children were all amazing!
Making A Very Nursery Nativity
First we read The Christmas Story then the children told their own versions and we put them all together to make our script. We love making up our own stories and we tell stories everyday. Click here to see how we make up and act out our own stories or here to see how we change stories. If you want to know more have a look at the Helicopter Stories Blog.
Then we got dressed up and started to film the different scenes. We love making movies in nursery (click here to see some of last year’s movies) so this time we decided to do it a little differently and tried out a green screen. We filmed in front of a big piece of green material and used an app on the Ipad to change the background. The children were very keen to make our angel fly so we tested out different ideas from using a slide to steps and Mr Sieczkarek even came to lend us a hand. The children could play whatever character they wanted and be in the film as much or as little as they wanted to be.
Then the children wanted to film outdoors so we used the grassy bank around school and the shelter in our outdoor area to film some more. After a week of filming Miss Hulme put our video together and we thought of our favourite Christmas songs. We decided to sing Jingle Bells and When Santa got Stuck up the Chimney first then we sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Alice the Camel live as we watched our movie and finished with We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
After our performance our parents stayed for a hot chocolate and a mince pie.
Thank you to everyone who came, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We loved reading all of your comments!

Happy Father’s Day!
Sunday was Father’s Day so last week we were busy making things for our dads. We made cards and drew a picture of our dad (or a special grown-up like granddad or uncle) and inside we thought about why we loved them.
Then we made medals for our dads and cut out pictures of things we thought our daddies would like and decorated them. On the back we thought about why our daddy had got the medal and what he was the best at.
Some daddies were the best at making dinner or giving cuddles or telling jokes or reading stories.
Today was our special Father’s Day Event. We invited all of our dads, granddads, big brothers and uncles to come to school and play games with us and what a sunny day it was!
We had a lovely time playing ball games and going on the park with our grown-ups.
Thank you to everyone who came we had a lovely afternoon and we hope you did too!

Muddy Puddles! (+video)
Update – Our Muddy Puddle Walk raised an amazing £306.50!
Thank you for all your sponsors!
This week was our Muddy Puddle walk for Save the Children. Have a look at our video…
We went on a walk all around school, up and around the secret garden and around the new pitch at the top of our school, it was a long way for little legs!
On the way we looked out for Peppa Pig and his friends hiding all around.
It was a lovely sunny day but we still wanted some puddles so when we got to the top of the hill we tipped out buckets of water and jumped in the mud!
When we got back we raised even more money by having a bake sale for parents and teachers. We had lots of fun and raised money for a great cause.
How can you continue learning at home?
We have talked a lot about charity this week and how there are people who aren’t as lucky as us. Everybody really wanted to look after other people and thought about ways we can help people. There were lots of questions and ideas about how we can help others.
You could talk to your grown-up about what charity means
At home you could think about ways to help others like your family and friends
You could donate old toys or clothes you no longer want
You could go on your own walk to somewhere new
You could bake buns or cakes at home

Happy Mother’s Day
Yesterday was our Mother’s Day Celebration. To celebrate we made cards for our mummies. We drew pictures of our mummies and thought about what they looked like, what colour their eyes and hair were and what they like to wear. We chose how we wanted to decorate our cards.
Then we made our mummies a special present. We used clay to make a sculpture that we thought our mummies would like. We added jewels and stars and beads to make them extra special.
Then we learnt a special song to sing to our mummies for Mother’s Day. It was called Skidamarink…
Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a do, I love you
Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a do, I love you
I love you in the morning and in the afternoon, I love you in the evening and underneath the moon,
Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a do, I love you, I love you too boo boo bi doo!
We performed our song for our mummies and gave them presents
We hope you enjoyed our special performance, thank you to everybody who came. Here are some of the reasons why you are special…

Our Christmas Nativity
This week we did our Christmas nativities for all of our grown-ups. Our performance this year was full of Maths and all about counting for Christmas!
In nursery we learnt all the songs and the actions. This was the children’s first performance and it can be very scary singing in front of a big audience. Everybody did really well to join in and we hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you to everybody who came and a big well done to all the Reception children too!
