Christmas holiday

Christmas 2022

Hello, 

This Christmas I am going to set you all a challenge to create a Christmas wreath. It can be any design you like and be as creative as you like. You could bake some salt dough and paint your wreath or you could collect lots of leaves or berries and decorate it that way. You could even make it out of paper. The more creative the better and I will be judging the entries when you bring them in to school in the first week back. There are brilliant prizes to be won so please do have a go and even get your parents or carers to help you! There will be a prize for the winning wreath in each key stage; EYFS, KS1, LKS2 and UKS2.

I cannot wait to see the entries and find out what you have made.

Here is a photo of a wreath I made. I attached pom poms to a circle of card using glue then attached a ribbon and hung it on my front door. I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

Don't forget your entries for the bauble competition tomorrow. I will be judging the baubles and announcing winners on Friday. Good luck!

Hello, 

This Christmas I am going to set you all a challenge to create a Christmas bauble. It can be any design you like and be as creative as you like. You could bake some salt dough and paint your bauble or you could buy a clear bauble and fill it however you like. The more creative the better and I will be judging the entries when you bring them in to school in the first week back. There are brilliant prizes to be won so please do have a go and even get your parents or carers to help you! There will be a prize for the winning bauble in each key stage; EYFS, KS1, LKS2 and UKS2.

I cannot wait to see the entries and find out what you have made.

I have put a time lapse below to help you think of some designs and how I made mine!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR ENTRIES. 

I will be judging the winners over the weekend and they will be announced on Monday.  
I will email you if you have won or not.  
Thank you for your patience.

Mrs Gray

I have received loads of your entries for the competition so far. I will be downloading all the photos and judging the winners. The prizes will either be posted or delivered through your door. I cannot wait to have a look at them properly. 
Here are some of the entries so far....

Christmas holidays challenge

Can you make a Winter Wonderland or Santa's Grotto over the Christmas holidays using whatever materials you have at home? It could be an old shoe box, a box you've got through the post or even a tupperware box. Then go for a woodland walk and pick some holly or evergreen leaves and add them to your box. You could use glitter, cotton wool, lights, paint, felt tip pens, anything you like. 
I cannot wait to see the final designs and award prizes to the best, most creative designs in each key stage; Early Years, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2. 

Below is the video that your teacher showed you in class of me explaining what you need to do and also a time lapse video of how I made my winter wonderland. 

Good luck and get building!

Mrs Gray
