This week we have continue the festive craft, we have made snowmen, and have designed our own Christmas Cards, Santa has arrived in the building, and the children have been very exited to chatter about where Santa comes from, what we would like from Santa for Christmas, and what we will leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve!
We have rearranged our small world and construction areas and have been very busy in our new areas, the children really enjoyed the new Peppa Pig resources, using the ferris wheel with the people inside, this enabled lots of lovely turn taking and negotiating which people fit, and who falls out of the baskets, much to the childrens enjoyment! The children have been using lots of different construction equipment to make boxes and containers to carry a variety of people and animals, and have been using lots of language to discuss what they want to make and how they will accomplish it together.
We have also been playing games, the children really like the matching games such as Shopping List, and we have a new fishing game, which encourages hand eye coordination and looking at details of items to find, and our new crocodile game, where the children have to push a tooth at a time and see if the crocodile bites! This was great fun, lots of laughs and giggles had by all!
