On Monday, we were surprised when we saw Santa’s legs being stuck in the chimney! Every morning, he leaves us a question! Using our knowledge of sounds, we stretch our words out to write a sentence back to him!

We are also writing about Elf on the Shelf too!

We are increasing our fluency of reading short stories by blending our words.

Our Library, is a Christmas theme. We have been exploring different books and using pictures clues to help us read them.

We continue to practise reading sentences which have Story World words!

Christmas time is a perfect time to explore Symmetry!

We know there has to be a line of symmetry in the middle and  both sides have to look the same to be a symmetrical picture!

We used our creativity to make symmetrical patterns and pictures!

We have also been wrapping Christmas presents but not any Christmas presents, they are 3D shapes! We have been investigating their properties and comparing the differences between 2D and 3D shapes.

We were curious about how Babies!

What happens when babies are born?

Why can’t babies eat normal food?

Can babies eat lollipops?

We have been learning and discussing the needs of a baby. We have also learnt the traditions of what happens when a baby is born in Islam and when a baby is both the Jewish faith.

‘In Islam, babies shave their head when they are born.’

‘In Islam, the Dad has to whisper a prayer in babies ears when they are born.’

‘There is a party once a baby is born in Islam’ (Hakeeqa)

In the Jewish faith we know:

‘The church is called Synagogue’.

‘The language they speak is Hebrew’.

‘When a baby is born, the men say a prayer in the church.’

I hope you are all looking forward to our class Nativity. It has been made using the children’s ideas and imagination just like how we make our Helicopter Stories!

We will upload the Nativity by next Thursday on Google classroom! We can’t wait for you to see it!
