Hello all,
Christmas has arrived in foundation and this week we have created a Christmas card factory. The children have enjoyed writing cards, putting them in envelopes and posting them in our post box. We have learnt about the Christmas nativity story and have continued to practice our songs for the show.
The children are looking forward to performing for you but please do not be surprised if your child doesn't sing or gets upset if they see you, this is completely normal, and we will make sure that they are ok. It can be a little overwhelming to be in the hall with lots of adults. Hopefully they will all be ok.
We have been looking at shapes this week and the children have enjoyed using geometric shapes with the play dough. The teachers supported the children with learning the names of the shapes.
We decided to collect some natural resources, we put them in water to see if they would freeze outside during the night. The photographs show the results. The children were amazed.
Not long to go now before we have our break. I think the children and the adults are ready for a few relaxing days.

We are working hard on developing the children's confidence and resilience in school. This is an important part of their development as it promotes confidence and self-esteem as well as motivation and perseverance in school. It fosters self reliance, allowing your child to feel they have control over their life. We are hoping that you can support us with this by encouraging you child to come into the setting independently if possible. Please speak to me if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Sheehan
