It’s beginning to sound and look a lot like Christmas with the Snowdrops.
We’ve been busy this week preparing our Christmas window for the atrium. We enjoyed painting and decorating our snowmen and making a Christmas tree using our handprints.
We’ve been very confident as we dressed up in Nativity costumes to learn and practise our Christmas songs and signs.
We had great listening this week in cookery to choose different vegetables to make a rainbow pasta salad.
We were successful learners and learned about chopping safely. We added our chopped ingredients to a bowl, taking turns with our peers and had super stirring.
Well Hello Pine Class!!!
How are you all?
The Pine Ladies are missing you and hoping you are all well and keeping busy.

Bread dough is always a popular choice for Sensory Play –
Mix 200gms Bread Flour, 1/2 tsp Salt, 2tsp Dried quick-acting Yeast and 1/2tsp Oil together then slowly add 125mls Warm Water.
We always mix this up in a basin, cover with cling film and then a tea towel and leave somewhere warm for an hour or so.
And let the Science happen!!! 
Has is doubled in size?? Put some flour on the table and have fun – cut out shapes, roll and stretch the dough or you could bake the dough.
Have you looked up the Makaton Sign for RED (Wilson asked you so do Yellow – Silly Wilson!) Singing Hands Colours
