This week we continued looking at traditional tales, reading Hansel and Gretel. We ordered and acted out the story then used coloured symbols to answer questions about it. In maths we revisited capacity, using water and other objects to fill, sort and order different containers. In science, this week, we continued looking at liquids and solids by making our own slime and chocolate bars though melting, freezing and mixing.
Most excitingly, we started our Christmas activities! We explored the winter wonderland that the elves had made for us. We loved the North Pole room as it had snowballs for us to play with. Our classroom has new fun things, like the reading area igloo, the North pole tough tray, the Christmas art area and the elf workshop, where we can build and wrap toys for those on Santa’s list. We also began making things for our Christmas goodie bags, making cards, ornaments and crowns. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in 2A.
