Elves on the Count Down to Christmas!
Today in our maths time we made these cute Elves to help us countdown to Christmas.
Elf on the Shelf
Today began with HUGE excitement as our little Elfie Friend arrived.
He was found peeking out of the Christmas tree - he had somehow managed to get tangled up in the Christmas lights!

When we came back from lunch we were even more surprised to discover the cheeky Elf had moved and was stuck to the board and had written us a Christmas message!

Reindeer Cookies
Over the last few weeks we have been working hard to understand fractions.
I promised the children that if they could show me they had a great knowledge of fractions we would put them to use in a 'real' way.
.... I have been so impressed with how well the children have been able to read and order fractions that today was the day!
We made our own 'chocolate gingerbread reindeer' by baking our own cookies. The trick was we were only allowed to use the following cup measures
1/4
1/3
1/2
Our recipe need full cups, and 3/4 cup measurements so we had to think hard about how we could make these measurements work ... or our cookies might have tasted a bit odd!
After we worked as a team and made a delicious dough we had a turn at using a rolling pin and gingerbread man cutter.
At lunch time Finn and Nicky baked our cookies in the Room 2 oven.
Our classroom smelt delicious when we came back after lunch. We left our cookies to cool while we went to the library.
When we came back to our classroom we had fun turning our gingerbread men into reindeer by turning the man on his head!

Elf on a Shelf
Today we listened to a story about the Elf on the Shelf.
This is a very cute Elf that Santa might send to our class to keep a watch on us as Christmas approaches.
We drew pictures of what we think the Elf might look like and thought of fun names for our Elf.
