Kevin the Christmas Carrot

Kevin the carrot is a fun new Christmas character.  Through Kevin’s adventures, the Snowdrops have been successfully learning new Makaton signs about Christmas, vegetables and colours.  Kevin’s stories also showed us lots of different emotions and faces which we have had fun to try and copy.  Everyone has made effective contributions to creating their own carrot characters using new paper craft techniques.  The Snowdrops have also been recognising key Christmas pictures and exploring sounds which are being used in our nativity show.
