Today we acted out the story of Christmas and then built sleighs for Santa. We discussed success criteria (hold sacks and Santa, have space for reindeer etc) and I allowed the children to choose who they worked with. The groups worked very well and came up with extra sleigh features such as steering and a rocket booster. In the end we played several rounds of the camouflage game.
Behaviour was quite challenging today – someone was upset and someone else went off to hide. yikes! All fine in the end.
