We got into the Christmas spirit by making beautiful decorations. We followed a YouTube step-by-step tutorial. We think they look amazing! Ask your child to help you make your own at home. P4 – 7s are experts now! You can view the tutorial here. Please send us some pictures if you make some!

In P4-7 we made Christmas cards. We used the internet to find inspiration. We used a lot of GLITTER!
