Hello parents,
What a week we’ve had. With lots of practising, trying the costumes, singing the songs and remembering the lines. The children are getting better and better and are super excited to show you everything they’ve learned next week.
We made a beautiful wreaths to decorate our classroom and also to help us remember that the wreath represents God’s love, has no beginning and no end. We added 5 more characters on our advent calendar and tried to keep the promises we made.

This week, as mentioned in my previous blog, I was assessing the children and also we revisited our tricky words. Well … the tricky words proved to be very tricky, so they were all around the classroom during learning to play. We played a special fly swatter game on the carpet, competing against each other. So much fun ….
In our sand tray we were decorating a christmas tree and the baubles were tricky words. Such a great way to play and learn at the same time.
The tricky words are so tricky because we can’t decode them, which means that we have to sight read them. Please make sure that you practise them with your child every day as this would really help them remember and use them confidently. New words are added each week and you can find them in your child’s orange book.
What a lovely finish to the week… we planted a tree and carefully filled the whole making sure the tree is nicely tucked under the soil. Hope our tree will grow big and strong for many years to come.
