Reception

Our lovely Reception classes have created their own Nativities and produced some lovely artwork too. The children have also recorded Christmas songs and added them to the videos using voice over technology. Well done Reception, these wonderful videos help us to remember the true meaning of Christmas and bring us all some very special Christmas magic.

Year 3

A Lamb's Tale is an original Christmas story written by Mrs Powell. It is the story of the Nativity but not as you know it! Our tale has some added extras and is inspired by some of Julia Donaldson's books - can you spot them all? The children have also learnt Makaton to sign the carol, Silent Night. Thank you Mrs Powell for writing this lovely story and for teaching the children to sign Makaton and a big well done to Year 3.

The Whiteoak Academies of Hannah More Infants & Grove Juniors sing:

The Nativity

An angel appeared to Mary and told her she was going to have a baby.

Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem.

When they arrived, they tried to find a place to stay but there was no room.

A kind Inn keeper said Mary and Joseph could stay in his stable.

Mary gave birth and baby Jesus was born.

Jesus was laid in a manger.

In the hills near Bethlehem, a group of shepherds were watching the sheep. An angel appeared to them and told them of the birth of baby Jesus.

The shepherds told everyone the good news.

Far, far away there were three wise men. They studied the stars and the three wise men knew a new king had been born.

They travelled to Bethlehem to meet him and a shining new star guided their way.
