08.12.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

The children have now picked their parts for our Nativity and we will be working hard on that next week. The costumes are all sorted and from next week some of the children will be bringing home some words to learn and we would be very grateful if you could support them with this.


Upcoming Events

  • Tuesday 9th December - Early years will be going to St Michael's for a Christingle service
  • Thursday 11th December - Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas lunch
  • Friday 12th December - Father Christmas / PTA Christmas Shopping Day & Bazaar
  • Friday 19th December - Early Years Nativity performance

Christmas Jumper Day - Thursday 11th December
On this day, the children can wear their fabulous festive jumpers and make a £1 donation which goes to our continued sponsorship of Khadiza. The charity Action Aid use this money to ensure that Khadiza and the other children in her community enjoy their right to an education, just like all of us at Down Hall! (Articles 28 & 29)


On to our learning for next week, we will be:

  • Practising our Nativity, singing the songs and learning our words.
  • Starting to make our own Christmas cards and calendars for our families.
  • Visiting St Michael's church on Tuesday and taking part in a Christingle service.
  • Working on our blending and segmenting of 3 phoneme words. 
  • Thinking about our daily routines in our Mathematics sessions.
  • Enjoying another Forest School session on Thursday. (The children can wear their jumpers with their Forest School trousers and bring their uniform to change into).
  • Wearing our Christmas jumpers for Christmas Jumper day on Thursday and talking about Khadiza and enjoying Christmas Dinner together.


Wishing you a lovely weekend!
