Foundations Christmas cards and 2025 calendars.
The foundation children have been super busy making their Christmas cards and 2025 calendars. The children made the cards using different lengths of paper to create Christmas trees. When making these cards the children used maths sentences such as “this piece of paper is longer” and “this piece of paper is shorter”.
Before making the calendars we gathered pupil voice on what the children wanted to have on the front of their calendars. Many children suggested the four seasons as in foundation we have been learning all about the four seasons recently. Therefore, to create the 2025 calendars the children dresses up in spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes.
Haven’t they done a great job!
