Well done to everyone who took part in our Christmas Window Competition this year. We will share photos of all the different windows next week. Have a look below to find our all about our winners.
Title: Reindeers and Candy Canes
Description: 2nd Class made a game based on Snakes and Ladders but instead we decided to use Reindeers and Candy Canes. There are four silly elves trying to get to one hundred, their names are Jingles, Alfie, Snowy and Danger.
The rules are:
1. Youngest player goes first.
2. If you land on a Candy Cane you slide down.
3. If you land on a Reindeer’s footprints you move up.
4. First person to one hundred wins.

Our Christmas window is titled ‘Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice.’ It was inspired by a gingerbread house that some people like to make at Christmas time. We used a mixture of different materials. Firstly, we painted the night sky for the background using blue and white paint. We also included a silhouette of Santa and his reindeer flying across the moon. Then, we used brown paper for the base of the house before painting on the white “icing” that looks bricks. Then we worked individually on smaller projects to add to the house like the snow, the peppermints, the candy canes, the Christmas tree, the snowmen and the reindeers. Everyone added at least one thing to the house and we had lots of fun creating it! The final touches were then added which included the windows and the lights on the tree.
