The children were very excited to change the role play area into Santa's Workshop.
There were busy elves wrapping and boxing presents for Santa.
They used clay to create candle holders.
When the clay had dried, the children used their creative skills to decorate the pots and insert a candle.
The Christmas tree was put up in the classroom.
The children chose decorations and used their fine motor skills to hang them on the tree.
The story telling table enabled the children to tell festive stories with their friends.
The children used their phonic knowledge to write simple words related to the Christmas season.
Tracing festive pictures supported the children with their fine motor and creative skills.
The children independently wrote letters to Santa.
During Maths, the children were learning to continue and create patterns.
What comes next in this pattern?
The children used Busy Things to read simple words to help Santa deliver his presents.
While KS1 and KS2 were at the local church, Reception children sneaked into the Y6 classrooms.
They sat at the Y6 desks and created Christmas cards.
They left the Christmas cards on each desk to surprise the Y6 children when they returned.
Merry Christmas!
