Elmer

This week we have been reading a story about Elmer the Elephant.  Elmer is not grey, like the other elephants.  Has has lots of colours.




  We made our own "Elmers" using coloured squares. 


We put different colours in the messy tray and mixed them up!


Here is a link to the story.  Elmer the Patchwork Elephant

Christmas Play

Here are the words to the songs that the children will be singing in this year's Christmas performance.  Below the words is a link to hear all the songs.
Please encourage your child to practise singing the songs at home!

We’d Like to Tell You a Story
We’d like to tell you a story,
Would you like to hear it?
A wonderful story that happened long ago
About a baby boy
Who filled our hearts with joy
And he was born in Bethlehem.

We’d like to tell you a story,
Would you like to hear it?
A wonderful story that happened long ago
It was a special night
The stars were shining bright
And he was born in Bethlehem.

We’d like to tell you a story,
Would you like to hear it?
A wonderful story that happened long ago
About a baby boy
Who filled our hearts with joy
And he was born in Bethlehem.


 Little Grey Donkey
Little grey donkey clipping, clopping,
Plodding down the track.
Little grey donkey clipping, clopping,
With a special person on his back,
Clip, clop, clip, clop.

(Instrumental verse)

Little grey donkey clipping, clopping,
Plodding down the track.
Little grey donkey clipping, clopping,
With a special person on his back,
Clip, clop, clip, clop.


Down in the Stable
Down in the stable, down in the stable
It won’t be too bad.
Down in the stable, down in the stable
It’s a cosy pad.
Come down with me and you will see
That it’s really not too bad.

Down with the animals, down with the animals,
It won’t be too bad.
Down with the animals, down with the animals,
It’s a cosy pad.
Come down with me and you will see
That it’s really not too bad.


There’s a Razzle and a Dazzle
There’s a razzle and a dazzle of light in the sky,
Light in the sky, light in the sky.
There’s a razzle and a dazzle of light in the sky
Shining down, down, down, down to the ground.

There’s a flashing and a splashing of light in the sky,
Light in the sky, light in the sky.
There’s a flashing and a splashing of light in the sky
Shining down, down, down, down to the ground.

There’s a razzle and a dazzle of light in the sky,
Light in the sky, light in the sky.
There’s a razzle and a dazzle of light in the sky
Shining down, down, down, down to the ground.

 A Miracle in Town
A baby’s born in Bethlehem,
A baby’s born in Bethlehem,
So come to the stable hurry on down,
There’s a miracle in town!

A baby’s born to make us glad,
A baby’s born to make us glad,
So come to the stable hurry on down,
There’s a miracle in town!

A baby’s born beneath a star,
A baby’s born beneath a star,
So come to the stable hurry on down,
There’s a miracle in town!

A baby’s born in Bethlehem,
A baby’s born in Bethlehem,
So come to the stable hurry on down,
There’s a miracle in town!
So come to the stable hurry on down,
There’s a miracle in town!

After we had read the story, the children made their very own "Rainbow Fish".
Sticking on the glittery scales.
