Christmas Craft Morning
Today all of the Year 2 classes held their Christmas Craft Morning. Each class had 3 different craft activities that involve making a Christmas decoration. Our parent and Grandparent helpers run the activities and the teachers help out and get the activities ready. Some of the crafts we made were:
- Pop stick ornaments
- Tea light candle holders
- Curtain Christmas wreaths
- Foam cup snowmen
- Serviette Santas
- Christmas cards
- Felt angels
- Felt stars and
- Peg reindeers.
We had a lot of fun and our rooms look very festive with all of our decorations on display. We’d like to say a huge thank you to the parent and Grandparent helpers – they helped every child at their activity, gave us really clear instructions and did an amazing cleaning up job!!
THANK YOU!
Here are some photos of our morning.

SRC Reps!
Amy and Harry are our SRC Reps – this means that they represent our class at meetings every 2 weeks at the Student Representative Council meetings. On Tuesday all of the SRC Reps had a barbecue to celebrate all of their efforts during the year!
Here are Amy and Harry with certificates for their hard work!
We’d like to thank Amy and Harry for representing our class at their meetings, running class meetings and reporting our ideas at the SRC meetings.
Sharing Time – Week 7
We have had an amazing week of learning from our Sharing Time topic. This week each student was invited to bring along a Christmas decoration and teach us how to make it. This involved a lot of organising by each student. They needed to remember their day, to bring along the materials they would need and work out how to teach the whole class how to make each decoration. We made pine cone Christmas trees, snowmen, snow flakes from paper, paper plate angels, baby Jesus’ using rocks, paper baubles, Christmas bonbons (with a surprise in each), macaroni angels – gold ones, foam Christmas trees, potato printing to make wrapping paper, pop stick snowflakes, paper stockings, pop stick ornaments, peg reindeers and many more!!
Most of the class completed our sharing topic – it took most of each day to actually finish each activity.
Our classroom has been transformed – it looks like Christmas has really arrived.
We’d love you to pop into the classroom and have a look – most of our decorations are hanging from our Christmas coat hangers!
Here are just some of our photos.
