A favourite Christmas flower, the poinsettia is a traditional bloom for the holidays. After viewing different varieties of poinsettias and studying their shape and colour, the children glittered and sponge painted their very own festive flowers.

Up Close Snowmen
Winter stories have been popular since our first snowfall. We've enjoyed many snow inspired books including some with snowmen. This project focused on perspective. Can you draw a snowman up close? Pretend you are standing right in front of it, looking up. They did an incredible job! I encouraged them to be brave and go for it with black pastels, no pencils allowed! They drew three big circles, off the paper, and then added the details. Then, it was off to painting. Once dry, they were outlined once again in pastel and embellished with some decorative snowflakes.

Trimming the Trees
We've been busy colouring ornaments, making paper chains and snowman decorations to adorn the trees for the Winter Concert. We also made a class wreath with our handprints to hang on the classroom door. Check out our activity advent too. Each day the special helper pulls an activity card for the day.
