Making letters for Santa
At BestStart Morrinsville we have been busy making letters to send to Santa. The tamariki have been drawing the different things they hope Santa will bring them and have had heaps of fun making these sparkle. While making these letters, the children were talking to each other about their different wishes for Christmas and the Christmas decorations that have gone up here recently.
Through this fun experience of making cards to send to Santa, tamariki are practicing their fine motor skills, coordination, creative skills and communication skills as they discuss what they want from Santa. By giving the children the resources to create what their imaginations desire, we, as Kaiako, are giving the children the opportunity to lead their learning and explore the different ideas they think of as well as those talked about amongst each other.
