On Tuesday it was the 1st December and lots of us were excited about opening our advent calendars, so we learned about the original meaning of advent and why Christians celebrate at this time.

We then worked in teams to create advent wreaths.

We have had an exciting week this week - our elf friends have returned to visit us this year!

On Tuesday we found a door had arrived in the classroom but it was taped up, so we guessed that we were not allowed to touch it and spent some time creating some signs to remind each other to leave the door alone.

Fortunately the tape was gone the next day and the elves have been leaving us little notes and Christmas stories - as well as chocolate coins for children that have been spotted working hard or being extra kind.

They told us the classroom was not very Christmassy, so we have spent a few days creating decorations in our Discovery Time - it looks much better now!

Have a restful weekend - don't forget to choose another challenge for your home learning this week, as well as practicing your spelling words and reading your book.
