With
the lead up to the end of the year our room is beginning to look a lot like
Christmas. The children have been busy creating baubles for the tree, adding
tinsel and sharing family photos of Christmas past. Through our Show and Tell
sessions we have been learning how our families all celebrate Christmas in a
different way. We have discovered:
· Australia has a hot
Christmas but other countries can play in the snow and build snowmen.
· We all take turns to
put the star or angel on top of the tree each year.
· Some families open
their presents on Christmas Eve and some wait until Christmas morning.
· We all love to have
lots of yummy food on Christmas day
· Some families go to
church and sing songs or play in the band
· We have loud cracker
poppers.
· Father Christmas has
lots of letters to read every night
· Father Christmas has
a big white beard cos’ where he lives it is really cold, but he must get hot
when he comes to Australia cos’ we don’t need beards.
We
have also been completing our gorgeous family mobiles. Please take the time to
come and read all about your family and how they work together and the roles
everyone has. Such delightful comments!
Next
Wednesday we will be having our Cooper Christmas morning tea. Everyone is
invited to come and share the morning from 9.30-10.30 (if it is not your
child’s day then parents must stay). We will then move out to the Christmas
dress up parade. A filled Merry Christmas festival! We wish you all a wonderful
weekend – hopefully not too busy!
