Advent wreaths

Advent is a time of preparation.

We are getting ready for the birth of Jesus Christ.

Advent starts on Sunday.  We made Advent wreaths today.  We used paper plates and crepe paper.  They look nice now but will look even nicer when they are finished.

Chinese dragons

We heard a really good Chinese story about how each year has been named after an animal on the Chinese zodiac.

We really enjoyed sequencing the story and talking all about the characters of each of the animals.

Look at the cool dragons we made in art with 2 paper plates and some paint.

We will finish them tomorrow.

 We also heard a Chinese song.

We love learning about China.

Waterproof umbrellas

Last week with Ms. Small we did lots of really interesting work on waterproof and absorbent materials.  We especially liked guessing and trying out which material was which.

We made some lovely umbrellas in art, and then we made them waterproof by covering them in cling film.  Here are the finished umbrellas:

 

Colour strings

 We are really loving our music classes with Katri

Homemade rockets

Here are some rockets we made at home.

They look great!

Astronaut display

We are making an astronaut display.

We each had to fill in the details and colours on our astronaut to add it to the space background.

Space paintings

Remember the clay rockets we made on Friday.

We painted them today.

They look AMAZING!

We also drew and coloured (or painted) rocket or space pictures.

We really enjoy all the space and rockets art we are doing these days!
