The First Christmas

Next week our learning theme will be:

For the challenge this week you will find an advent calendar in your child’s wallet. Your child can decorate this if they wish as it could do with a bit of colour! Please read to them the poem below:

Santa’s beard is very bare,

On his chin he has no hair!

So each day add one puff of white,

When they are all on he will come that night.

Each day please cross off or place some cotton wool on the number. To support your child's mathematical development please talk about the numbers, try and find them in the environment and use the calendar to count how many sleeps there are until Christmas.

We also need your child to bring in a wooden spoon on Monday 1st December. This will be to make a Christmas item for you. (We can’t tell you what – it’s top secret!)
