Wednesday 30th November

Only three more classes before the Chrstmas holidays. I thought we'd start early and make a decoration for their Christmas tree at home.  From this activity the children will learn the vocabulary 'Christmas', 'Christmas tree', 'decoration', and 'present'.

To get into the Christmas mood here's a Peppa Pig Christmas video:

Colour 2 christmas trees and slot them together to make a 3d tree decoration.
Stick real pins from the pine tree and decorate with whatever we can find.
Bring tin foil for mini balls.

We could start learning some Christmas songs like, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and
Jingle Bells.
Talk about the christmas tree and how it stays green all year unless it's cut down.

We're going to play a role play activity where we have a buy food for Christmas. I printed toy money and we will use the toy food. Target language is I would like a.... please. Here you go. They already know thank you.

I might say, I would like a dog for Christmas, to see if they understood. Then I might ask them what to they want for Christmas.

If this role play activity goes well I will ask them to bring in three dolls next week for another role play activity.
