Fabric Angel

Fabric Collage Angel

There are a couple of stages to the Fabric Angel but its easy and looks gorgeous! 

I precut out the fabric triangle and circle in lots of different colours and patterns. Children decorated the angel's dress with buttons, ribbons and sequins.

Winter Art

Jack Frost Collage

Straight forward collage using tinfoil, which is a bit more difficult to manipulate than ordinary paper, some students found this difficult to complete and needed help and encouragement!

Christmas Cards

We created these prints which were then used to make a class Christmas Card.
We used sponges to print the Snowman's head and body and cardboard to print the hat and arms. Buttons and facial features were fingerprinted on.

The tree was printed using cardboard again and the decorations were fingerprinted again, with a sticker star on top!

Santa

Some of my favourite Christmas websites! Enjoy.

Santasearch.org

Great website, beautiful personalised free emails from Santa.

"Welcome to SantaSearch, a not-for-profit dedicated group of compassionate, caring volunteers who touch the hearts of children and adults by bringing the joy of the Christmas season."


I have used this website for the last few years for my class to send emails to Santa, and we have always had wonderful replies.

The North Pole Times

Lots of reading and news about preparations in the North Pole, always exciting updates everyday.

Portable North Pole

I was sent this website last year and made the personal message for Alicia and it was just fabulous, the website doesn't look much but the resulting video is fantastic. 

"Santa Claus and his amazing PNP (Portable North Pole) console will be online during the entire holiday season. With just a few clicks, this technological marvel will let your loved ones receive a personal message from Santa Claus, sent directly from his village in the North Pole. Rediscover Christmas with this immersive and unique experience that brings the holiday magic back to life."

The Grinch

Another fantastic unit of work, which I don't think I'll get around to doing this year as we are aiming to do the Polar Express but some of you may find it helpful. This is from another great blog that I follow Mrs Jump's Class which has lots of lovely ideas for Junior Classes.

Polar Express

A fantastic unit on The Polar Express book from April Larremore, make sure to visit her blog for other great units which she so generously shares. I look forward to doing this one with my class before Christmas (if we can fit it around the Wriggly Nativity!)
