Christmas Curriculum Activities
We will continue with the Safari
theme throughout this half term;
we will also be starting all sorts of
Christmas related activities –
including the use of lots of glitter
and glue! We do ask the children
to wear aprons – but even then,
some accidents do happen. So
please accept our apologies in
advance if it causes a little extra
washing! (The materials we buy say
that they can be washed off – but
PVA glue does seem to be a
problem. If anyone has any tried
and tested tips for getting it off
please let everyone know – thank
you!)
Children in Need
We are pleased to report the final
total raised was £35.42 Thank
you
again
for
your
kind
contributions.
Emberton School
More Glass Jars Please
Small and medium sized jars are
needed for the church Christmas
Candle Festival. We have some but need some more please. Just
bring to the foyer, or to Mrs
Austyn. Alternatively, give them
to your child to bring in. Thanks!
You are invited to Forest School
Please come and join in the Forest
School activities on Friday 11th
December from 1.30pm onwards.
Don’t forget to bring your wellies
as the field is likely to be very
wet!)

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR
LEARNING
We have attached the learning
outline for the theme ‘Let’s Go On
Safari!’ so that you can see what
the children are currently learning
about. We hope that you find it
helpful when they say they can’t
remember
what
they’ve been
doing!!
Charlie and Lola are proud of their learning

Curriculum Workshop
Save the date: 5th Jan 9 am
We are very pleased to offer you

workshop with them and see how
