Building our Igloo

We have been busy this week building an igloo in the classroom.  We are all very keen to play in the igloo and now need to find things that we can use as Inuit costumes and equipment.  Does anybody have a sheepskin rug at home that we could borrow? Or how about some cooking pots or other equipment that we could put into the igloo?

Learning about the Christmas Story

This week we have been learning about the Christmas story. We have read lots of different versions of the story. We also looked at and played with different Nativity models and we decided to make our on Nativity scene. We acted it out first and there is a picture library opposite to show our work. We then planned our frieze and decided who was going to make each part. The picture above shows our work. We think it's great. Each figure has a stick so it can be acted out.
