Two weeks to go before school stops for 2 weeks.! Time to get your classroom buzzing with the excitement of Christmas...
If you haven't already got going with an online advent calendar then we're using this as our online calendar because the wonderful santa.gl polar bear one seems to have died this year.. :-(
We've also got a massive Father Christmas advent calendar hanging on the door with a chocolate for each child. We're using the Hat software to pick someone every day... if you download it then just be aware that you might want to stop the flashing and the shaking - I find I am uncomfortable when it's doing that!
Literacy in the last 2 weeks is going to be instructions, I plan on photocopying various Xmas 'things to make' for them to analyse, do lots of prep on what instructions need etc and then I think I will link lit to maths and use Bev Evans wonderful shape challenge . We'll do the challenge and then write instructions on how to successfully meet this challenge for another class to follow.
I'm thinking that I will use our ICT time to create Xmas cards - firstly by using 2 paint to create an Xmas like picture which will then be saved and dragged to Ript ( still got to check that it's possible to do that...), printed off and stuck onto a peice of card and duly decorated with tinsel and written on.
I also found many ideas here - discovered by a colleague - and here .
I'm planning on doing Christmas sandwiches - What kind of sandwich would Father Christmas
like to eat on Christmas Eve?...links to our current D&T and I am also going to show the old Walt Disney Christmas videos (downloaded from utube) - they are wonderful!
Also from utube is a video of the 'Little Matchstick Girl' for some Christmas PHSCE...
We have our class party - might do karaoke - plus umpteen other Christmassy things that I haven't yet thought about....What do you do?!
Then there is the wonderful animoto site for all manner of Xmassy things which will be wonderful!
Music that comes to mind for a Christmas animoto is...

- Nutcracker Suite
- Any Xmas carol
- Kate Rusby - Sweet Bells, carols with a difference
- Bach - Christmas oratorio..
