The Daisies class enjoyed making a choice of what items to wish for in their Santa letters. We explored the Smyths website and chose 5 items that we liked.
We printed images and cut and stick them into a Santa letter. We practised overwriting our names on the bottom of the letter and are hoping to go and post them next week.

The Daisies class enjoyed a special visit from Santa’s Elf today. He brought some advent calendars to help us on our countdown to Christmas.
We also took turns decorating the Christmas tree and hanging tinsel and lights around the class. It is looking very festive.
The Daisies have enjoyed learning about St Andrews Day. We have been successful learners listening to Scottish music and using a talker to select what instrument we think we heard. Some of the children even tried some Scottish dancing. We were responsible citizens working together to find visuals and match them to a picture on our St Andrews treasure hunt. We made the national flower of Scotland during art – thistles. We finished the day with following a recipe to make porridge for our afternoon snack and loved choosing our own tasty toppings.

The Daisies class have enjoyed a snow themed week of activities. We have played pair games with dice where they had a race to build a snowman. We also made hanging spiral snowman decorations and explored sparkling snow cloud dough. We were all brave enough to touch and explore this different texture.
We finished off our week with some fun in the soft play!

The Daisies class worked hard this week doing lots of arts and crafts to make a snowman themed wall display for the school atrium. We drew round our hands to make the snowman head and body shape. We also painted and glittered pasta and lolly pop sticks to make snowflakes.

The Daisies class all enjoyed coming into school in their pyjamas or casual clothes to celebrate Children in Need. We had Pudsey’s Fundraiser story and enjoyed some Pudsey themed dances.
We also worked up a sweat doing some of Joe Wicks and Pudsey’s 5 minute moves.

The Daisies class had a special challenge where we were to turn a paper lantern into a snowman.
We did some paper mache with a balloon and string to make a snowman body and decided to use sweets to make our snowman face.
We hope you like our creation! These will we hanging in the main atrium during our Christmas displays.
