This week the Chicks started with our Christmas topic and they loved our new Topic Story My First Christmas. This is a simple retelling of the first Christmas and is brought to life with colourful illustrations and a delightful pop-up nativity scene which the Chicks loved. They were very engaged in a lot of topic related activities such as acting out the Nativity story by using the small world model of the stable and their characters. The children also had fun building the stable out of big Lego bricks and of course pretending to be Mary and carrying the Baby Jesus. Some Chicks even dressed up as Mary, Joseph, the King and the donkey and went on their way to Bethlehem!
We engaged in lots of Christmas themed activities during the week to celebrate our topic including adding baubles to their matching numbers on the paper Christmas trees in Maths and decorating Christmas jumpers and Christmas trees using stickers, Loose Parts and felt tips in Free Play. The Chicks also had great fun making biscuits out of playdough, using rollers and cutters and refining their fine motor skills.
