We have started to practise our Christmas nativity play. The children have all been given parts and we got very excited trying on the costumes. The play is on Tuesday the 9th in the afternoon and Wednesday the 10th in the morning. We look forward to seeing you all at one of the performances.
We have still been busy learning, we have been focusing on repeating patterns and traditional tales. Some of the children have become very good at making patterns and can now make up repeating patterns using a sequence of three. We have also been using the interstar to practise our fine motor skills. 
During these next two weeks we are starting to look at Christmas around the world, beginning with Germany. We are making a gingerbread house and tasting gingerbread men. We are going to make a gingerbread man Christmas decoration. We have been thinking about our senses and this week we will be exploring the sense of taste. In Numeracy we are going to be recognising and ordering numbers to twenty using the 12 days of Christmas song and numbered gingerbread men. We will begin to use Claus Construction Company to design and make toys and decorations.
