Christmas 2021

We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

The instructions said we have to get some LED light, wires ,battery pack and then Whaea Jac  gave all of us some   playdoh. After that Whaea Deb said that we had to break the playdoh  into two pieces and then we put the LED light into both bits and put the battery wires into each side. Then the light lit up.
