Makaton
We use Makaton signs with the children at nursery. Every week we publish some signs for you to
have a go and use at home. If you would like further information please speak to a member of
staff. We have chosen these signs this week because we will be using them when we sing our
Christmas songs at Longbridge Methodist church.
Christmas
Please let us know if you need a lift from Longbridge Methodist Church to the Lickey Hills on 9th
December, so we can arrange transport. Please let us know before 2nd December.
The children will have the opportunity to dress up in nativity costumes at the church. We are
constantly having to replace them. If you can help us out with donating costumes or making
costumes please speak to a member of staff.
Christmas Discovery Bags available from Tuesday 1st December.
Thank-you
