December 2009 in Seahorses, Starfish and Dolphins
Well, it's Christmas eve and we have had a wonderful December of singing, celebrating, decorating, making, creating and..... SNOW! Even if Christmas day is not white for all of us, the last week or so has given us all lots of opportunity to play in some snow and raise the levels of excitement and Christmas feeling. In short, we have had a really good time.
Enjoy our picture gallery of some of the things we have been doing in December...
One of our Dolphins children stares at the Christmas tree in the snow. That big white blob in the sky is not a moon. It is a snow ball that missed the photographer by a whisker!
A Christmas display in the Dolphins room. All the children contributed to either their own or the big Christmas tree.
The Christmas collage table in Dolphins.
Dolphins all added paper and glue at different stages to create our papier mache Santa. We never really knew what it would turn out like, but the Boogie Nights Santa came as a bit of a surprise!
Starfish painted and decorated their own Santa Claus, putting the eyes, paint and glitter in the places they wanted. All unique and all perfect.
Starfish decorated a little Christmas tree. All having a turn at putting on the pieces they wanted to see on the tree.
Rudolf was made by the children painting the different parts of the body and the team putting it together. Rudolf has been one of their favourite contributions to the room- as well as singing Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer. Children made their own snow flakes for Rudolf too.
Some more art in Starfish. Christmas tree collages and Angel's hanging. If you couldn't tell it they were Angels, look again through toddler eyes.
Seahorses collection of Christmas trees, snow flakes, stars and a calendar for next year. All the children made 2010 calendars for their parents.
