This week we have been practising our scissor skills by cutting up cards to make pictures and cutting out snowflakes to hang in the windows.
The Advent calendar has been opened each day and the children have been given a small activity treat. These have included a large game of snakes and ladders, singing favourite songs and dancing, and chasing bubbles in the garden.
On Thursday Highwoods primary school invited us to the dress rehearsal of their nativity. The Squirrels children were so well behaved, and were fascinated to see the older children's performance.
Geo gears has been a very popular activity this week. This consists of a variety of different colour cogs and wheels and fittings. The children are able to build different systems and then by turning a handles each wheel moves in a different direction.
Words we have learned this week:
Cog and Wheels
Gears
Ideas to continue this weeks’ fun at home:
Practising the songs for our Nativity on Wednesday.
