JacquieL Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Hello and welcome to the Forum minnie1. I have moved this into our Christmas activities forum. If you click on the word Christmas above you will find lots of posts about Christmas activities which may help. I'm sure a lot of members will be along soon to make suggestions as well.

Lorna Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Sinter Klass is a nice one to do. We have done it for the past two years as I have had Dutch children in the class. The parent came in and talked about the traditions, dressed children up, showed them video from the Dutch website and then we did the traditional sweets in shoes- which she organised for us- with real Dutch treats.

Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Thankyou for all your help. It really helped me!!
Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk have a great section on christmas traditions around the world. I like the Italian witch story - she comes in January. I have 2 Italian children this year. I will be asking my class (letter to parents) to share photos and talk about what they do at Christmas, as otherwise they get a very British perspective (roast turkey, christmas pudding, mince pies) that sort of thing!
Rea Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Minnie1, just by chance I saw this on the BBC site, hope it helps Christmas around Europe
