Today the children were talking about the Christmas trees throughout the nursery. We talked about the different sizes of trees and decorations.
āI have one in my house
āGranny has oneā
āMine is so bigā
ā we have lights that change coloursā
āI helped to put the baubles onā
During our discussion we decided we would like to make our own Christmas trees, so we Ā looked a few ideas up on Ā the Promethean Ā board.
We talked about what we couldĀ use Ā to decorate our trees and went on the hunt to find a variety of materials e.g. buttons, sequence, wool, thread and pipe cleaners.
The children began by painting their trees using their fine motor skills and talking about decorations they were going to put on theirs.
āit will be so colourfulā
āI put a star on mineā
ā mine will look pretty in my bedroomā
They then waited patiently for their trees to dry and finally it was time Ā to decorate their trees. The were all picked the different materials.
Here is a selection of the childrenās fabulous works of art!
