What Sea Turtles did in November and December

To follow on from October's topic of changes around us, we decided to look at the big change of the year, which was all things Christmas; with decorations, carols, presents, a total change in the environment. We also took a look at some of the other celebrations that go on around at the same time of the year such as Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. 

We had a lot of creative hands over the last two months as there is an endless amount of creative activities that centre around Christmas that involve glue and all things sparkly and glittery!  

Children are making a nighttime backdrop for our nativity scene. 

Children used clay to make models of animals and characters to go in our Christmas Nativity.

We made a Pumpkin Pie in Celebration of American Thanksgiving.

Children had lots of fun exploring our Christmas treasure basket.  We had decorations and ornaments hidden in and amongst the tinsel!

 We collaborated on making and decorating Santa's Sleigh, and then had lots of fun going on little rides around the room in it! 

The highlight of December was our Christmas Party.  We had face painting, balloons, a ball pit, bouncy castle, dancing, and a special visit from Father Christmas!
