It has been a very busy few weeks in our class starting all our Christmas learning and activities. Below are some photos of some of the kinds of things we have been up to.

In Maths we have been working on our counting and numeral recognition through fun games like ‘Snowman/Snowball’! The children thoroughly enjoyed throwing the snowballs to knock over the snowmen and counted their scores. They then found the numeral to match! They were also working in teams so it was very noisy with lots of cheering! Lots of fun!

They have also been learning the Christmas story in RE and in cookery they have been finishing their Christmas cakes. In Art they have been ‘Using tools’ this half term and this week they have been practicing using glue spreaders by making lovely Winter Snowflakes and forks to paint Christmas Trees! And of course you can’t start Christmas without a bit of Winter Sensory Fun with snow!! And singing around the Christmas Tree!

Its also Human Rights Month so the children in our class have been experiencing what its like not to be able to see, like Helen Keller, by playing pin the nose on Olaf! They thought it would be easy but it wasn’t! They have been learning about Helen Keller and who she was, and all the work she did for people with disabilities and Human Rights. They also did some photography and painted their faces to recreate a work by Ai Weiwei another Human Rights Activist.

Very busy!
