Hello everyone ツ
I am Ms. Yana, and currently I am following the course B.A (hons) in Early Childhood Education & Care at the University of Malta. I created this blog so that I will be able to share with you photos showing some of the children’s work that they will be doing in class. Also, here I will promote some home school links where your child can freely continue or revise a task we may start at school, etc.
Christmas Cards
Today we made a Christmas Card for you ツ All the children worked enthusiastically in small groups. First, the children were asked to choose a colour for their card, either red or green. Then, with my assistance they cut out a triangle (Christmas tree) of the opposite colour. For e.g. if they chose the colour green for their card they cut out their Christmas tree from a red coloured cardboard. Then, they were given a variety of resources, including ribbons, sequins, pompoms, markers, and gems. They decorated their cards on their own and how they liked. Finally, with my assistance, each child wrote his|her name inside the card, using a very dark crayon.

Can you make a snowman?
On the table I placed four A4 coloured cardboard-one for each child, different shaped cut-outs, cotton wool, small pom poms, sticks, ribbons & gems. The cut-outs and the other resources were placed in different containers.The children were invited to build a snowman with the provided cut-outs. With my assistance, they used glue to stick the cut-outs on their cardboard. Then, they were invited to decorate their snowman with the resources and during the process, they were encouraged to be imaginative & creative. At the end, everyone was satisfied with their snowman.
