With Christmas approaching super fast we have been doing lots of Christmas themed activities.
Monday
We watched a short film of The Night Before Christmas. We talked about the main things that happened in the story and then children had to retell the story in their own words. Each student created their own 'The Night Before Christmas' book.
We then started our draft letter to Santa - we have done a bit of letter writing this term so my kids were good at knowing what was needed. The criteria was:
- they had to say something nice to santa
- why they have been good and should deserve a present
- what they would like
(we will publish them tomorrow once I have checked spelling etc).
In the morning I had played Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer to the class and none of them knew it. So I scheduled some time in to learn some Christmas carols. We learnt Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle bells. I found a video for each on youtube and then printed matching words.
In the afternoon we made some Christmas Elves. I was really pleased with how they turned out. I could only find a picture for this activity so I can't link in instructions but here is a photo of some of my kids elves.
Tuesday
Today we did some touch up work for a couple of projects we needed to get finished.
For our writing topic we filled out an elf application. My students has to explain why they think they would be a good elf and draw an image of themselves as an elf - see below for one of them. The following is a link for the activity.
In the afternoon we took advantage of the nice weather and went outside for some striking practice.
