Weekly Update 22.12.23
Posted: Dec 22, 2023 by: admin on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi,
We have reached the end of another very long half term! (or should I say some of us have – sadly I have been poorly this week and missed the last few days).
On Tuesday, UKS2 performed their Christmas assembly “A Very Victorian Christmas”. They did a fantastic job of making it both entertaining and informative and we hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we did!
On Tuesday afternoon, we had great fun making our Victorian inspired Christmas cards. We learnt that it was in the Victorian era the first ever Christmas cards were produced but these were very expensive for ordinary people who would often make their own at home instead. We had a go at creating our own using a common technique from the time whereby people would create “pinprick lace borders”. We found it tricky to get the hang of at first but are very pleased with how our designs turned out as they look very effective!
And finally, I think the last thing to say this week is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! On behalf of all the adults in Ash Tree we would like to say thank you for all the kind and thoughtful gifts we have received. We hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating and will look forward to seeing you all in the new year! I can’t remember ever having to write this final blog entry this late
EEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!
Miss Bairstow ☺
