Goslings Room News

To begin the festivities the Goslings helped to decorate our indoor and outdoor tree, the children took it in turns hanging the different sized baubles on it. They then went to create their own Christmas decorations, to do this they used a wide range of colours to make marks on some circles. Next, they helped to create a beautiful salt dough and snow globe decoration to take home to put on their own trees! The Christmas crafts didn’t stop there as the children also created a Reggio inspired Christmas card and calendar using sticks. The Children then used their fingers to make some brilliant marks on them. The Goslings then helped to decorate some bags to take home all the lovely things they made. To do this, the children dipped a cut up apple into white paint and printed it onto the bag to look like snowman! The children also helped to make some reindeer food to take home, they loved scooping the oats into bags ready to take home and sprinkle outside for Santa’s reindeers. As well as Christmas we have also been celebrating Hanukkah. The Children made some fantastic Menorah cards for Hanukkah by printing their hands onto the card and then lighting the candles with yellow fingerprints. The children also decorated the Star of David with yellow paint and by gluing and sticking tissue paper to it. Some children then created their own candles to make for their menorah. They did this by painting recyclable materials and sticking yellow paper at the top like the flame of the candle. We then looked at a menorah together and practiced counting to nine.
