Our Christmas Nativity Play - Christmas with the Aliens!!!!

We had a wonderful time before Christmas, rehearsing for our nativity play, which was called 'Christmas with the Aliens'!!!! It was about 4 aliens whose Space Ship had broken down on planet Earth. They happen to meet a group of children who are rehearsing for their nativity play. The children have the task of explaining the true meaning of Christmas to them. We performed the play for the entire school at different stages and our parents and extended family and friends also came to see it, which was very exciting indeed!!!

Music with Marsha

We are learning lots of lovely songs with Marsha and we are getting very good at tapping out the beat using claves and triangles.

Learning about Spain with Elena

We learned all about Spain recently, when Elena from Spain spent some time in our class with us. We even learned some Spanish dancing!!!



An owl on a branch

We made these owls using various 2-D shapes. Can you spot them? We also collected real branches for our owls to sit on and stuck on real leaves too.



Fun with 2-D shapes

We learned all about 2-D shapes. We are able to identify squares, circles, rectangles and triangles (among other 2-D shapes ) and count the sides and corners of each shape. We know that a circle has no corners and this is why it can roll easily. We had fun putting various shapes together to make shape pictures.
