We have had a very creative week and have been experimenting with different ways to use paint. We collected twigs and small branches and used them to paint with and we have been using apples to print with to make baubles. Our Christmas role play area has been very popular and we have had lots of fun learning about the Christmas story and dressing up as angels, donkeys, kings, Mary and Joseph.

We have continued to develop our fine motor skills through mark making with pens, pencils and paintbrushes. We have also been using glue and scissors to make Reindeer antlers. We have developed our gross motor skills by experimenting with different containers to pour water.

We have had more fun sorting and matching colours and shapes this week and we are becoming confident at recognising the properties of shapes to compare and group them.

Finally, we have been practising our Christmas song, which we are looking forward to sharing with our families very soon.
