Swedish Christmas at preschool

Today we heard all about what Christmas is like in Sweden. We heard they didn't have any chocolate but that they do have lots of Gingerbread. We would rather have our Turkey than the smelly Mackeral which they like to have.
We would however like to have as much snow as they have .
We all made some nice Gingerbread tree Decorations.

Making Treats for Hanukkah

Today we learnt all about a little boy called Michael and his Hanukkah celebrations.We made the sort of treat that he may have to help him celebrate. Yum Yum

Making our special Eid necklaces

Sumara is the little girl we have talked about this week . We know how she has not been eating during the day and how she has been looking for the full moon so she can wear her new clothes, wear her new necklace and have a lovely feast. Can you see the necklace we have been making. We tried hard to match one side of the necklace with the other side. We are very proud of our lovely necklaces. j

Changing Legs

Last term we made a giant leg. It belonged to George the giant and it reached to the ceiling. Today we painted a chimney and our leg turned into Santas leg just going down a chimney. This is a picture of our hard work.

Glittery Bugs and Feasts

We have been practicing washing our hands today. We put special cream on our hands then try to wash it all off. If we leave any on our hands look all glittery when we put them in the bug. If they don't look glittery we are good hand washers and we can have a sticker.
Today we found a new moon which was hiding in preschool and this meant we could begin our mini feast at snack time. The new moon meant it was Eid. We also made some lovely necklaces which we could wear at a real Eid feast and two of us dressed up as Samara and her brother. Do you think we look good?

Snack Time

Our snack today was fruit . We must all be very healthy this year as everyone enjoys their fruit. Our favourite fruit is bananas so we are only allowed one piece of banana each so we can all have some.i

Puppets

Today in preschool we took turns to go in the little room with Lindsey and to tell stories with the puppets Our favouite story was The Selfish Crocodile although we did other stories as well. This is a picture of the puppet theatre with Lindsey.
Later our group activity was to play Grandma ,Grandma. Ask your preschooler how you play this if you would like to know.

A very noisey day

Today was as noisey as yesterday was quiet. We learnt about a little girl called Dharah and all the things she does at Divali . We made some Rangoli pictures .with oil pastils . Here is a picture of Fia's Mum who came to help today.

Fun with fireworks

Everyone was very quiet at preschool today . We guessed the bangs that went on into the night may well have been the cause. We had fun making rockets out of a triangle and two rectangles all joined together by different methods.

Small World Play

Today several of us had a lovely time playing with the castle with Carolyn

later that day

We made sailing boats and raced them

Today at Preschool

We painted a wheel and made paintings by rolling it over paper on the floor.
