The Bluebells class had great fun playing a sensory game today. We used shaving foam or whipped cream and gave ourselves Santa beards. Then, we had fun sitting on the barber chair and shaving off our beards. This was lots of fun and we had a good giggle!

The Bluebells class enjoyed creating their own Christmas jumpers today. We chose items that we wanted to decorate our jumper. Some chose pom poms, some chose jewels and gems, some used glitter and Christmas confetti.
We had lots of fun getting to personalise our jumpers the way we wanted to.
The Sungazers enjoyed the process of making and hanging birdfeeders in the sensory garden to support our wildlife throughout winter.
Our effective contributors, we hope ‘yule’ like our photos.
The Sunflowers have been very busy making Christmas crafts. We made our own Christmas cards using strips of coloured paper.
At cookery we made trees using cones and used icing to make melted snowman biscuits.
Excitement is continuing to build in Comet Class as we get closer to Christmas. This week our favourite Christmas activities were finishing the Christmas pictures with Play-Doh, making paper wreaths and meeting Santa! We also loved wearing our Christmas jumpers on Friday.

The Bluebells class completed a drawing session where we drew Rudolph the reindeer on our Christmas jumper template.
We concentrated really hard and managed to do a really good job!
For our school Christmas market all classes make something to sell. We decided to make hot chocolate reindeer. All pupils were able to pour hot chocolate into the cone shape bags. Most pupils were able to stick on the details to add faces to our designs. Some pupils were able count an amount of marshmallows for each cone.
We investigated candy canes. We held them in our hands feeling whether they were hard or soft. We hung buckets on the end of our candy canes and then filled the buckets up to see how many objects the candy cane could hold. We then put the items back in the box counting them as we went. It was great fun.

The Bluebells class had great fun making fluffy snow slime today. We mixed the ingredients and all enjoyed touching and kneading the slime. We attempted to roll snowballs and squash and stretch the “snow” and found some hidden Winter and Christmas themed items.
