January Newsletter Cygnets Room News

The Cygnets have had a super busy month throughout December. The children have taken part in lots of wonderful Christmas activities and crafts, such as making wreaths, Christmas trees out of natural resources, snowmen and lots of gluing and sticking using lots of different Christmas resources. We have also had lots of exciting tuff trays for the children to explore, including a snowy winter wonderland, the Polar Express and a snowman made from lots of different resources. Once we finished making these, the children loved adding them to our room's Christmas tree and even took some on their trip to Richmond House to share with the residents. We have also done lots of baking activities throughout December, including gingerbread men and shortbread biscuits. The Cygnets were very helpful by adding the ingredients, mixing it all together, rolling out the dough and then cutting them into Christmas shapes. The children were very excited to take their baking home to share with their families too! To continue the Christmas celebrations, we had a special visit from some of Santa's reindeer. We also had a Christmas party, where the children did some amazing dancing and singing to their favourite Christmas songs. Our Country of the Month this month has been Iceland. We set out a winter tuff tray with animals that might be found in Iceland in it. We also explored some ice that had frozen in the garden and the children enjoyed talking about what the ice felt like. They also liked breaking the ice using spades too!
