Literacy this week was focused on the Sainsburys Christmas advert, The Greatest Gift.

This brought up lots of discussion points. First we discussed what we thought the greatest gift might be. At first lots of material things were put on our list before we realised that there were lots of things so much more important, like spending time with family and friends.

After watching the advert we talked about people that can’t spend Christmas with their families due to work commitments and made a list of jobs that can’t take the day off. These were jobs such as doctors, nurses, carers, jobs that work off shore like oil workers and pilots.

Primary 3 decided that a nice gesture would be to write Christmas cards to people who are working these jobs on Christmas Day.
