Party Time at Hampton!

Merry Christmas to you all from the Nursery. Have a wonderful break, and a happy and healthy 2020!

This week the children had their Christmas party. They enjoyed tasty food together to start with. They then got into the festive spirit by taking part in various party games. During musical chairs the children began to move around getting faster and faster as they moved around to sit on a chair, with lots of laughter. This was followed by pass the parcel and Thomas shouted out "Bubbles, bubbles!" as he discovered the contents. The children each had an early present from Father Christmas and were so excited to tear the paper off to reveal their very own book, showing each of their friends the book they had received. William began to point at the various pictures in his saying "It has my name!" as he noticed his name in the title of the book. The highlight of the party was the snow! Douglas had so much fun playing in the snow he used both hands to try and catch it, then proceeded to lie on the floor and say "I'm a snow angel" and began to wave his arms and feet and started to laugh. Ines was so excited to see the snow she started to sing "Snow,snow,snow!" and began to dance around. Damon and Sami noticed different sized foot prints on the floor and started to identify the different sizes . Hlenhaze used his hands to make various patterns in the snow. Great fun!

The babies got involved in the Christmas party as Lyra jumped up to catch the snow as it was falling whilst clapping her hands and smiling. They were fascinated by this. Oliver enjoyed pass the parcel as he tore the paper up and helped to unwrap some presents. The babies have also been exploring textures with different colours. Abigail played with some green and red pasta, she squashed it between her fingers and palms before lifting it up and dropping it back causing jasper to laugh. The babies also used jugs and spoons to fill and empty with the pasta. Jasper and Owen played with some Christmas coloured floaty materials whilst listening to music. Jasper hid under his before saying ‘Boo’ making Owen laugh before he copied.
