Dominoes, dice and dinosaurs!

Christmas Event

Theme - Christmas Stories

Early years will be singing a song about the book 

'The Elves and the Shoemaker'

We would like all children to dress as Elves for the performance and so children can wear red or green clothes. We will make hats and elf ears for the children in class as part of our Christmas activities. Please do not buy anything special for the costume but try to use clothes you already have as we try to support sustainability and reuse and recycle in our effort to raise awareness of environmental issues. 

Below are some examples of what your child might wear:
