Welcome to December!  The children have been telling us all about their Christmas trees at home, this has sparked quite an interest in recreating their own whilst at Cartmill.

Some children have enjoyed using their ICT skills to decorate a virtual tree.

This helped to develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills whilst it provided opportunities for use of mathematical language.

The children also made use of loose parts to decorate their own paper trees.  The conversations the children had during this activty were very excitable as they discussed their trees at home.

I’m sure you will agree their creative skills are outstanding!
