Calendars at Christmas

This week in Maths, we learned all about the calendar and also about Advent in RME. These  link because it is coming up to Christmas and we have lots  of Advent Calendars in our homes. We were also learning about what other countries and cultures do to celebrate Advent.

In Mexico they have a 9 day festival called Las Pasadas, which is when they reenact the nativity and also hit pinatas , children share the treats and sing songs. In Denmark, on 1st December they light a special candle to countdown to Christmas.

Today in Maths, we had  stations . We played an ipad game, made a poster about the months of the year and we also added important dates to a December calendar to help us learn how to use a calendar.
