Songs to Learn for Christmas Show “Little Robin Red Vest’s Very Busy Christmas”
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow,
On a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way (Ha ha ha)
Bells on Bob tail ring,
Making spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to sing our sleighing song tonight.
Oh !
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride,
On a one horse open sleigh.
The Christmas Shoppers Bus (To the tune of The Wheels on the Bus)
The shoppers on the bus go spend, spend,spend,

The children on the bus all jump for joy,
Jump for joy,
Jump for joy,
The children on the bus all jump for joy,
All Christmas long
The santa on the bus goes ho ho ho,
Ho, ho ho
Ho, ho, ho
The santa on the bus goes ho, ho, ho,

How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Gift Wrap Song (To the tune of This is the way we brush our teeth….)
This is the way we cut the paper, cut the paper, cut the paper
This is the way we cut the paper as we wrap the gifts for Christmas.
This is the way, we stick the tape, stick the tape, stick the tape,
This is the way, we stick the tape as we wrap the gifts for Christmas.
This is the way we tie the bows, tie the bows, tie the bows,
This is the way we tie the bows as we wrap the gifts for Christmas.
Christmas Pudding (To the tune of I hear Thunder).
Christmas pudding, Christmas pudding,
Steaming hot, steaming hot,
Pouring on the custard, pouting on the custard,
Eat the lot, eat the lot (Repeat)
Lemon Drops and Gum Drops
If all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops,
On what a rain that would be
Standing outside with our mouths open wide singing
Ah, Ah a ah a ah a ah a ah
If all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops oh what a rain that would be.
If all the snow flakes were candy bars and milk shakes
On what a snow that would be,
Standing outside with our mouths open wide
Singing ah a ah a ah ah a ah a ah
If all the snow flakes were candy bars and milk shakes
Oh what a snow that would be.
Away in a Manger
Away in a Manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head,
The stars in the bright sky,
Look down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

Santa Claus is Coming Town
You better watch out
You better not cry,
Better not pout I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you’re sleeping,
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake.
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout, I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glowed,
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any reindeer games
The one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.
Then how the reindeer loved him,
And they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.
We Wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy new year.
Strangers Policy
In the event of somebody unfamiliar coming to the nursery to collect a child or visit a member of the staff team, you should always follow this procedure:
DO NOT LET A STRANGER INTO THE BUILDING UNTIL THEIR IDENTITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.
- Ask the full name of the child that wish to collect or to fully state the nature of their visit.
- Most official visitors carry identification cards. Ask to see this.
- Check the messages board for parental consent
- Check the office diary for confirmation of an appointment
- Check with other staff members in case they are aware of a different collector or a planned visit
- Where appropriate, ask for a pre-arranged password
- If you still unsure contact the child’s parents or ask a visitor to re-schedule their appointment.
IF YOU ARE EVER IN ANY DOUBT OF SOMEONES CREDIBILTY, POLITELY ASK THEM TO REMAIN OUTSIDE WHILE YOU CONSULT WITH A MEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM.
Forced Entry
In the event that an intruder should force entry into the building, it is important to gain help as quickly as possible. Never risk your own safety but try to alert other team members as quickly as possible by shouting for help.
The situation will be managed by the most senior member of staff available and will begin by simply asking the intruder to leave the building. Upon refusal, suggest moving the intruder into a safe space such as the office or staff room to continue discussion. The agreed code word will be used to alert other staff to call the police.
In the event that the intruder poses an immediate threat to the welfare of staff or children, break a fire glass to sound the fire alarm and as far as possible, carry out the emergency evacuation procedure. Notify the police and the landlords (the school office) as quickly as possible of the situation.
