I've always loved doing classrooms for Christmas. It's the most tiring part of the year, everyone's exhausted and it's a lot of effort for a couple of weeks before you have to pack it all up again, but somehow it is always worth it. The kids come in on the Monday after I've spent the weekend setting it all up and they are just overjoyed and it gives us all that little bit of extra spark to get through to the finishing line. I like to make the classroom just as functional as usual but with a Christmas theme; Christmas books to read, Christmas writing ideas (including KK / Secret Santa cards and letters) Christmas poetry for reading and for handwriting. resources for spelling Christmas words, nativity art to used as provocations in RE and plenty of craft ideas that inspire collaborative and creative work. Our technology inquiry unit culminated in the kids designing and producing packaging for their KK gifts.
