Create A Stocking ![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/news/Screenshot_2024-12-12_09.54.55.png) 9 December 2024 ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/Screenshot_2024-12-12_09.54.55.png) In Nursery class this week we have been looking at Christmas celebrations. To tie in with this, the children decorated their own stockings on purple mash. The children have been learning how to navigate the draw function on this website, understanding that they need to scroll to find the different colours and making the link between the colour selected and observing the change in colour of their marks. The children made marks on their stockings in different ways, some children made lines and movements with their finger to create marks and others decided to tap the screen to create dots. They made some beautiful stockings!
