This last week the children have been engaging in a variety of Christmas themed activities. We read the Christmas Story and then had a go at re-telling the story as well as ordering the events. 
At the writing table we were writing letters to Santa and copying some Christmas words. I was really impressed with the fantastic independent writing.
We were also developing our fine motor skills by making patterns with small pegs and creating cotton bud snowflakes.
After learning about symmetry earlier in the week the children made some symmetrical Christmas baubles and trees.
There was lots of cutting, wrapping and sticking with plenty of teamwork taking place in Santa’s Workshop too! 
And here are some of our finished Menorahs! Some of the children took them to finish at home.
Well done to all the children for a fantastic term. They have worked so hard, shown excellent examples of following our Drakies school values and performed amazingly at the Christmas Show!
Have a great Christmas everyone…lots of fun and plenty of rest! I look forward to hearing about all your adventures after the holidays! See you all next year! 😊
