We have started talking about Christmas this week and wrote a letter to Father Christmas. We talked about how letters start with ‘Dear’ and wrote some ideas of what we would like from Father Christmas. We also had a look at some Christmas books and listened to Christmas songs.

We started to make Christmas decorations out of clay, the boys rolled, patted and manipulated the clay in order to make the decoration. We then carefully painted them.

We have been continuing with ‘one more’ and ‘one less’ and have been working with the numbers 17 and 18 in maths. We also talked about 2D shapes and looked at different properties of the shapes. We used shapes to make pictures, here is a robot and a bird:

Our story mat in the reading area is lots of fun and promotes imaginative play, storytelling, building relationships with friends and language skills. This week the boys enjoyed using the mat when re-telling the 3 little pigs story.

Look how neat the boys keep their class wellies, well done boys!

Fun in the garden:

Whilst we were in Assembly, Mrs Curran started to transform the Role play area, all ready for the boys on Monday! They will need to help Santa’s Elves to design, build and wrap Christmas presents. Thank you Mrs Curran!
