Although it seems ages ago now, we can still remember the great fun we had at Christmas in Year Three/Four. We had a party – lots of dancing and great food! We did lots of craft activities and even managed to fit in a spot of baking too!
Every year, the children in Key Stage Two go to St. Alban’s church for the carol service. It’s a lovely event and gets you in the mood for Christmas. Children and parents sing a mixture of traditional carols and modern Christmas songs. The orchestra play some seasonal pieces and selected children from throughout the Key Stage read extracts of the Christmas story. The readings and singing are accompanied by children carrying figures form the nativity story through the church where they make a candle lit display.
Having been to church on a cold December morning, we thought we would have a treat waiting for us when we got back…mince pies and hot orange juice! We made the pies ourselves (and gorgeous they were too!) Some of us had never tried mince pies before and really enjoyed them.
Christmas is such a lovely time to do craft activities. We made Christmas bags to put in everything we made. Christmas cards were reindeer with wobbly eyes. Best of all, we made hats to wear when eating our Christmas lunch – look at the attached photographs to see how festive we looked…
