Dear Parents,  
As part of our Christmas celebrations this year we will be visiting Riverside Gardens residential home on the 18th December at 10.30 am.

While there we will be entertaining the residents with 4 Christmas carols which we have been learning. On this day we will ask the children to wear something red, and we will provide Santa hats. Please ensure the children are dressed for the weather that day as we will be walking.

We would also like to do a 'secret Santa' for the residents, so we would be grateful for any small gifts for either male or female or a £1 donation.

I have attached a song sheet so your 'little entertainer' can give you a preview and also practice their songs at home, I'm sure you will enjoy this as much as we do.

This event will obviously be recorded and  offered to you in the new year, along with the Christmas and Halloween party.

Thanks Pam

SONG LIST  

SONG 1
RUDOLF THE RED NOSED REINDEER

Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeers,
Used to laugh and call him names,
They wouldn't let poor Rudolf,
Play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolf with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight.

Then all the reindeers loved him,
And they shouted out with glee,
Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history.
 


SONG 2
SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better be good,
I'm telling you why,

Santa Clause is coming to town,

He's making a list,
And checking it twice,
He's going to find out who's naughty or nice,

Santa Clause is coming to town,

He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows when your awake,
He knows if you've been silly,
So be good for goodness sake,

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why,

Santa Clause is coming to town.

SONG 4
WHEN SANTA GOT STUCK UP THE CHIMNEY

When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
He began to shout,
You girls and boys won't get any toys,
If you don't pull me out,

My beard is black,
There's soot in my sack
My nose is tickly too,
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
Achoo   achoo   achoo


When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
He began to yell,
Oh hurry please…. It's such a squeeze,
And Rudolf's stuck as well,

It's chilly out here in the cold night air,
And Rudolf's nose is blue,
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
Achoo  achoo  achoo
