All Out Christmas Drama....

Well....after several hours, slaving away over a hot laptop (?!)
I am very proud to present the 12 Pains of Christmas

In literacy we looked at parody poems. We discussed other types of parodies we'd come across - we knew lots of song and limericks.

And in the season of good will...we decided to turn an old classic on its head.

The 12 pains of Christmas is all about the things that make people mad during the Christmas period, things like shopping, naughty children and fairy lights that don't work!

Keep checking Corpus Christi's Youtube Channel for the finished video...

And for those who are too impatient...here is a sneak peak with some funny out-takes!

A Merry "make-do and mend" Christmas

This week we've found our Wartime Christmas Spirit!

On monday we spent the afternoon recycling things from around the classroom!

People during the war still had christmas trees and decorations. Many people had their christmas decorations from before the war. The problems started when people's christmas things needed replacing when they became old or broken.

We thought about this, surely they could just go to the shops and buy new things? But the children remembered that things were rationed during the war and some items could be difficult to get hold of. Rojay carried on thinking...He mentioned the factories. "the factories wouldn't be making christmas decorations, they'd be too busy with the war effort"

This sparked a very long discussion about the factories during the war...

"They'd be making guns"

"Yeah and planes"

"The canaries would be busy making the ammunition!"

So...in true war time fashion, with carols playing...children singing we went about decorating our classroom!

And here is our finished Make-do and Mend Christmas...

Celebrating Interfaith Week

This afternoon we joined with the rest of the school to share our Interfaith week activities.

We proudly presented our display, we worked hard to create a colourful and interesting piece to share with the school.

Straight after the assembly our work was rushed back to the classroom, it is now displayed along with Lift-the-flap Information finders...Come and check them out!


And as always....

Lets lift our banners high!

Happy 1st of December!
