Remembering Understanding Applying Analysing Creating Evaluating
1. Research why poppies are used to
raise money for charity. Be prepared
to give the class a talk about your
findings.
Think about homelessness at
Christmastime. What help is available locally
for people in this situation? How could
you help?
Create a recount to document the
Smarden Spectacular for future children – you may use any
medium you wish, but remember to use PAST TENSE.
Research the work of Barnados (which was founded in Victorian times) or Children In Need. Find out if they still help local people. You may decide how
you present your information.
Design and make a gorgeous Christmas Card for one of our
local elderly residents.
(Ask for some card if you need it.)
Choose your favourite Christmas Carol. What is
the history behind it? What meaning does it have for
you?
2. Find out what each of the five candles of
the Advent ring represent.
Golliwogs were a popular Victorian toy, research why and then tell me why they have
been subsequently removed from the
shops. Please also tell me your thoughts about
golliwogs.
The train network was introduced in Victorian times,
create a timeline to document important
events.
In 1870, the Education Act was passed to
ensure that every child was sent to school and
not the workhouse. Analyse why this was
important & how childhoods changed to what they are today.
Write a verse for a song for “Children In
Need”.
The Victorians had a very different dress code to ours today – compare
clothing for the rich and poor both today and in
Victorian times. Which do you think were more
practical, which would you rather wear?
3. Come up with an idea to remember all the characters from the
“Twelve Days of Christmas” song.
Why do Christians celebrate Christmas?
Explain.
Imagine you have a budget of £50. What 5 presents would you
buy for a child in need? Explain your choices, working out
the total cost.
Investigate where the money from last year’s
“Children In Need” went. Draw a bar chart
or pie chart to show the different percentages.
Design and make a gingerbread person
that looks like yourself. Bring it in
to show us or take a photograph of it!
Watch a Christmas film and write a review.
Remember to tell us what you liked and why, maybe what you didn’t like and
why.
4. Find a Christmas poem that you like. Learn it off by heart and recite it to the
class.
Christmas has become too commercialised! What do you think?
Justify your opinions – give reasons for and
against.
Imagine you are homeless. Write a
diary entry about how you feel, especially at
this time of year.
Look at the ingredients list on a Christmas
pudding or Christmas cake. Where do each
of the ingredients originate from? How many miles do you think the whole item
travelled?
Design and make a Christmas
decoration for our class tree. Name it & you can have it
back when we break up in December.
Find out how another country celebrates
Christmas and create a short report.
Please choose ONE activity to complete each week and bring it to school on a MONDAY. Each week you should choose from a different coloured column. Keep track of which activities you have done. For some of the activities you might need to ask for some information to help
you complete the task.
You should also be reading regularly at home, learning your spellings and practising your checkers (parents to check, tested in school).
