Fun in Sea Turtles and Dolphins for December '13


Sea turtles

 This month we got right into the festivities the children have been involved with lots of music and movement, learning words and actions to new songs and enjoying the old ones. Dressing up has been a fun activity for the children and they have all taken to the Santa hats.

Making Christmas presents is always fun, lots of glitter & sparkles to make beautiful baubles for the tree and using salt dough to create Christmas shapes for them to paint.

Tinsel play has been different for the children; feeling new materials and exploring all the shiny objects. The children have also been enjoying lots of colouring with pencils, pens and chalk.

It’s been a good festive month for the children to enjoy.

Dolphins

This month we have had a fun filled festive month with lots of singing, dancing and making festive goodies along with talking and reading stories about other cultures and religions and what they do at this time of year.

The children have been busy making cards, Christmas pudding, stockings, trees and an array of other decorations. The children have really enjoyed singing to themselves and the rest of the group on the karaoke machine in preparation for our carols by candle light evening.

The children have also still shown a great interest in the building works next door and have been popping around to chat to Haydon and Dennis through the fence as they work and then role play at being Haydon and Dennis using a variety of materials such as Lego, wooden blocks and cardboard boxes to build their own nursery.
