In Reception on the 1st of December Reception learnt all about Advent Calendars and why we have them at Christmas Time. 

  
The day started with the children coming into class and finding an Elf sat on the shelf. He had a letter in his hand explaining Father Christmas had sent him to our Reception Class to watch the children’s behaviour.

  
The Elf had also brought Christmas to the classroom…

    
 
The children then helped decorate the Christmas Tree….

   
    
    
    
   
We also played an Advent Calendar game in Phonics where the children had to identify the initial sound of the pictures behind the doors.
