Nearly there!

Even though we are getting closer to the Christmas holidays, all of the children in Early Years are still working extremely hard. They have all just completed their final performance of the Nativity and we are so proud of how well they have behaved and how well they learnt their songs and dances!

We have set up our own Post Offices in the classrooms where the children can write and post their own letters and wrap up their own parcels. We have set up scales so we can compare which objects are heavier and lighter. 

The elves have been getting up to all sorts of adventures that the children have loved writing about. Some of the children have an elf at home and have enjoyed sharing stories from home about what their elves have been doing. Today, Carrot the Elf (from Maple Class) had some different sea creatures in the water and was looking at which ones were floating and which ones were not floating. They were noticing similarities and differences between the different sea creatures and comparing them. 

We have been using different technology in class and we have been encouraging the children to either write their name on their work if it's on the Interactive Whiteboard or to use the class cameras to take a photo of what they have been doing (making sure to include their name label or a sticky-note with their name written on so we know who the photo belongs to!)

We are so pleased with what the children have already achieved during their short time at Alderwood and we are looking forward to seeing what else we have to come this year! 😁
