Term Topics
The focus for Term 2 is based around the book
'Dream Snow' by Eric Carle
This picture book explores imagination along with number as a farmer dreams that a snowstorm is coming and covers him and his animals—named One, Two, Three, Four and Five—in a snowy blanket. When the farmer awakens, he finds that it has really snowed outside, and now he remembers something! Putting on his red suit….what is it that he remembers? Children will delight in this book as it embraces the magic of Christmas and the value of giving and sharing with others.
