Another busy week in the Mead Room!
We have been talking about the ‘Symbols
of Christmas’, what we know about Christmas and how we celebrate.
Isla
B – There’s Christmas
decorations on people’s houses.
Leonardo – Giving presents to some people.
Jimmy – You put your Christmas tree. I put a
star on my tree. It needs a star. Decorations too.
Owen – I need presents, they come from
Christmas.
Lucius – We’re going to get a new Christmas
tree, balls on the tree. Jingle Bells is a Christmas song.
Poppy – Father Christmas wears red clothes.
Charlie – Santa getting in, he gets presents
for everybody, yes he do!
Josh – Father Christmas, presents, home.
We read books about the first Christmas
and of course our Nativity concert contributed to our understandings too:
Grace-Marie – Its Jesus’ birthday.
Zara – He’s the baby in the cradle.
Ginger – Jesus loves being with his Mum.
Houyi – Baby Jesus birthday.
Teddy – The Wise Men went to see baby Jesus,
they followed the star.
Vivi – I put a star on top of my tree!
Quinn – Jesus got born.
Alfie – The three Wise Men brought him
presents.
Isla
DG – The mum had baby
Jesus in her tummy. He was born in a stable, a long way away, a little tiny
baby in a bed of hay….. (then launches into a passionate rendition of ‘Born in
a Stable’!)
Anwen – Mary had to go on a donkey, he was
born in a stable.
Charlotte – Baby Jesus gets born on Christmas day
and he got presents.
The Summer program begins next week, looks
like lots of summer fun and engagement with Miss Boler and Miss Beth.
Time seems to be speeding up as the
moments I spend as your child’s teacher draws to a close. I am thrilled that they will have the
opportunity to have a wonderful transition to Chapple Room, and for our Mead
Room friends who are leaving for different schools and kindys – we will miss
you, but hope to see you again one day!!
Be safe, have a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year!!
