It snowed!

The sky was not blue. A cold wind was blowing
and believe it or not... it snowed.
We witnessed some Jack Frost Magic.
Magic snowflakes that did not melt fell from the sky.
We looked at the pretty patterns and tried to match them up in pairs.
We could not do so because they were all different.
We cut our own paper snowflakes and had a lot of fun throwing them down for our friends to catch.

A new experience for Ted

Ted and ..... had a lot of fun together. It was a busy weekend.
Now, Ted needs to get back to school and take a nap.
Can you guess what Ted has never done before?

The Snowman

As Reception Bears learn about snow and 
explore some winter  stories, we continued
to watch the film we started to view last Friday.

For everyone to enjoy and recall:
David Bowie - the young man recalling his childhood memories.

The Snowman - Raymond Briggs

Wise Men - Dia de los Reyes

We wish Daniel a lovely "Dia de los Reyes."
We made some Wise Men out of recycled materials to take home.



Professora Maria do Céu taught the class this song:


In true Spanish tradition, on January 6th, the Wise Men bring children presents and there are parades in the streets.
This video shows what the parade looks like.

Calendar challenge

On the back, as you can see, there is a wheel with the order of the animals in the Chinese calendar.
Each month is decorated with an animal.
Well done, this is the first calendar in.

Well done. The months are in the correct order.

With this calendar the 4 seasons are shown. Can you name them?

 With this calendar ****** can cross out each day as we go along.
So far, we are 5 days into the New Year.
Each page has a photograph to celebrate each month. Can you guess what might be on the page for February?

Special family days are marked on this calendar.
**** will not forget any this year.

This calendar was made in a scrapbook style.
It has drawings and cut outs illustrating the various months. 
Special days are also marked. 
Can you guess where the family went on holidays last year?

This calendar is free standing.
Days can be marked off with a sticker.
It is another calendar illustrated with photographs to show the different months of the year.
What months are shown here?

This Little Bear has written the numbers to the 366 days of the year!
Mummy helped her hold the ruler while she drew the lines.
Each day has its own box and number. The names of the months are written at the top of each page.
Can you guess what day she brought the calendar to school on?
Fantastic work Little Bear!

A treat for all these Calendar makers.

One more calendar. Look at how many events and birthdays in May. 
Wonder how many more birthdays we could pencil in.

Yet another calendar. In this calendar, the months were decorated with phtographs and drawings.
