Snowman

This week, we have been learning about The Snowman story by Raymond Briggs. 

The children enjoyed listening to the story and watching the film with the famous piece of music, We're Walking in the Air. They also had fun playing with the small world toys, depicting the story.

Some Bumblebees were very busy mark-making what the main characters in the story were saying to each other inside speech bubbles.

The children loved making snowmen from plasticine and a variety of other materials.

Moreover, they made Christmas dinner, wrapped Christmas presents and put them under the Christmas tree in Santa's workshop.

The children loved wearing their Christmas jumpers on Thursday.

They were also were very excited when their parents came to visit for The Stay and Play on Friday.

Together, they made some Christmas cards...

 

...did some patterning...

… and made patterns in baubles with masking tape and wet chalk.

They also made some reindeer food for Rudolph and practiced building some superfast cars to help Santa deliver all those presents!

Outside, the children were very excited to try out the sleigh and a ride on Upland's own reindeer.

One of the grown-ups tried out a very different form of transport...

Thank you to all the parents and carers for coming. We hope to see you back again next year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Bumblebees and their families!!!
