We have made lovely robins, like the robins we see outside and at our bird feeders. Robins have little blue eggs and a brown body, with a red breast. We used rolled up red crepe paper for our robins red breasts.
It is really snowy outside, so in our nice warm classroom we made our own non-melting snowmen. They look really cheerful and they remind us that snow can be fun!
Both have been painted, glittered and have ribbons or magnets so we can use them at home over Christmas. 
They look wonderful!
We painted nice Christmas trees, and decorated them with faces, stars and glitter. They look great. 
We also made very cute snowmen out of socks. T
hey are all different.....just like us!
We also painted some lovely Christmas angels, then decorated them with bits of ribbons, tinfoil and stars. They look lovely.
We have an Advent calendar in our classroom, and we also have fun with the calendar from the interactive whiteboard on http://www.helpkidzlearn.com/advent_calendar/advent_calendar.shtm We know the Christmas story, and today we made lovely crib pictures to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. We have made nice papier mache Santa faces, and we will make lots more Christmas art in December
We made super rockets out of clay, and we started making Santa faces out of papier mache. 
There are lots of ways of making the pasted for papier mache. Our teacher makes the paste from flour and water. It smelled quite like baking as it dried over the radiators. We can't wait to finish these projects this week.
We made more rockets in art today. We each got a black sheet of paper, onto which we wrote our names, cut out felt pieces to make a rocket, used coloured wool for the fire blasting out of the rocket, then used potato prints to add stars, moons and planets to our pictures. We would love to be blasting off to space in the rockets we made.
We love snow!
