Christmas

Christmas is always a lot of fun for my youngest pupils. They make wishes, draw, play games, sing songs and things like that.

This year we've read a story called 'The Gingerbread Man'. First, I introduced them to the stars of this story: the little old woman, the little old man and the Gingerbread Man. I told them that the Gingerbread Man runs away from home and meets three animals along the way. I asked them to draw the three animals, watch the story and order the animals (a cow, a horse and a fox). Then, we checked their ideas, talked about the story and played games.

I also prepared some cut-outs with Christmas symbols (Christmas tree, snowman, the Gingerbread Man, Father Christmas, Rudolf and elf) for them to colour and decorate their pencils with.

Since no Christmas can be imagined without songs, we sang some familiar ones and learned a new one called S-A-N-T-A. This song is perfect for learning spelling.
