Kerri-Anne came in with clay to help us make Christmas decorations. She took them away to fire in the kiln so we are excited to see them when they are finished. We had to decorate them with special paint.     Miss Wishart, one of our students has a puppy. She talked to the Peedie Chicks, finding out what they knew about looking after dogs, before taking her puppy in to see the children. The talk inspired play in the block area, where children built a fabulous creation for animals.     On our way down to music we sometimes hear the older children having their music lessons.

We are lucky enough to have a music teacher as a parent, so the whole group joined in for songs and playing instruments. We learnt lots of new songs, and about rhythm, tempo and volume.   Ice The cold weather has sparked an interest in ice. We have been observing frost and ice on our walks, and have been having discussions about what happens in different conditions. We introduced ice in the water trays, and have been experimenting making our own ice, and freezing items in the water. It has been a sensory experience and a chance to explore water in different states.     How does it feel? How can we get the toys out? What's happening to the ice?
