LEARNING THEME
As the Christmas holidays get closer we have decided to learn more about this festive season. Our classrooms will be bustling with energy as we start making our Christmas tree, decorate the wrapping paper to put on our presents, and make special aceesories to wear for the Christmas Concert. We will be focusing on Christmas customs and traditions such as decorating a christmas tree, making snow men, and singing Christmas carols down the hallways. The children are all very excited to perform for you on Friday!
We will continue singing the songs for our Christmas Concert- feel free to practise them at home together!

Communication and Language & Understanding the world
Our wintery theme will provide us lots of opportunities for developing the children’s language and deepening their understanding of the world. We will be encouraging children to observe and describe the changes when they investigate the ice sensory trays. How does the ice feel? What is happening to the ice? What has changed?
