This week, as part of their learning in Design and Technology, the children have been making Christmas decorations.
To start the week, they worked in pairs to weave ribbons and create huge baubles, which can be seen hanging in the classroom.
Next, the children carefully measured pieces of paper to make strips that could be joined together and made into paper chains. Building on from last week’s learning, they made sure that their paper chains included both a colour and number pattern.
The week ended with the children reading and carefully following instructions to make lanterns to decorate the class Christmas tree.
These creative activities have developed the children’s English and Maths skills as well as improved the accuracy of their cutting. The decorations look wonderful as does the whole classroom as we share our Christmas preparations together this Advent.
We look forward to seeing you in school next week when the children perform their Christmas play, A present for the baby. Bring your child into school at 6.30pm on Thursday 14th December ready for their evening performance, which will start at 7pm. Please ensure that any requested clothes for costumes are brought into school by Monday at the very latest.
Have a wonderful weekend.
