Today the children were talking about the Christmas trees throughout the nursery. We talked about the different sizes of trees and decorations.
âI have one in my house
âGranny has oneâ
âMine is so bigâ
â we have lights that change coloursâ
âI helped to put the baubles onâ
During our discussion we decided we would like to make our own Christmas trees, so we  looked a few ideas up on  the Promethean  board.
We talked about what we could use  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.
âit will be so colourfulâ
âI put a star on mineâ
â mine will look pretty in my bedroomâ
They then waited patiently for their trees to dry and finally it was time  to decorate their trees. The were all picked the different materials.
Here is a selection of the childrenâs fabulous works of art!
