Yesterday the children enjoyed meeting with their buddies to create houses made of rice paper and sweets! The children were able to work with an older pupil in the school, in an upstairs classroom which was very exciting!
We had our final dress rehearsal today in church, and the church loved getting the chance to perform in their costumes!
We look forward to showing all you parents our service in the morning!

Christmas Toys
After reading the story of Harvey Slumfenburger, a boy who comes from a poor home, we began thinking about all the children in the world who are not as lucky as us!
Each group of children were given a limited supply of resources, from which they had to design and create their own toys. They had to share the equipment, and think carefully about being wasteful, as they could only use their allocated supply!
The children came up with some great ideas, and worked hard to make a range of different toys and games.
For the rest of the day, the children were only allowed to play with the toy they had created, to help remind us of children who aren't as lucky as us to have so many activities in School and at home. The children really enjoyed the activity and showed they could share, collaborate, give ideas and be creative!

Christmas in St Clares
Christmas is coming!
Our role play area is a workshop for Santa! the children can play as elves, sorting and wrapping presents!
We have an Advent display board. Each day, the children take off a card with a prayer on. After saying the prayer together, we hang it on our class Christmas tree!
Today the children enjoyed writing their letters to Father Christmas!
