Each child received a certificate HOME ED LOOKS LIKE T HIS I S S U E 5 P A G E 5 Big Draw Felting Workshop My Name is Opal I am 11 years old and this is the first time I have delivered a workshop This workshop was for making wet felt starfish. Equipment needed:- Wool (different colours) Bubble wrap Soap water liquid Trays Towels This is the workshop table set up, I Plastic bag with knot in would set it up like this before each (to stop little ones put- ting their heads in it.) Empty bowl to squeeze excess soap into Bucket of clean water for rinsing Opal, 11 years old P A G E 6 We laid the trays out with bubble wrap on top of them then we started by ripping the white wool into 2 bigger pieces and one smaller pieces. We overlapped the 2 bigger pieces to make an x shape and then we put the smaller piece on top to make a star shape. Then we put different coloured wool on top of the base to decorate the starfish to make them look bright and colourful. After we finished decorating we sprinkled the soapy water on the star fish and then folding the bubble wrap over the star fish so the star fish is in a sandwich of bubble wrap. The bubbles of the bubble wrap should be facing the starfish, and then using the plastic bag we rubbed on top to press it all together. It has to be rubbed lots with good pressure so it does not come apart. Then we opened the bubble wrap up and re- shaped our stars so they looked how we wanted them too. Next we folded it all back up and rolled the bubble wrap into a tight sausage shape, we then took the rolled up starfish off the tray and laid out our towels. Then we put the rolled up starfish at one end of the towel and rolled it all up together to make a bigger sausage. Now the hard work begins, we must roll with lots of muscle power. 10 x roll then unwrap and turn over. Repeat this process at least 8 times turning and re- shaping each time. HOME ED LOOKS LIKE T HIS I S S U E 5 P A G E 7 Now we check to see if all of the wool is stuck togeth- er…….. This depends on how good you were at roll- ing. If the wool moves when you rub the surface you need to roll a few more times. This usually happens with younger ones as they are not as strong. After all the rolling is done, take your empty bowl and squeeze all the excess soapy water into it. Then rinse it and squeeze it 3 more times in the clean wa- ter. This bit is the fun bit…. lay a big towel on the floor and then put your felt starfish down at one end, fold it over carefully and stomp on it to dry it out even more. People can now take their starfish home with them. Sent in by Opal, aged 11 P A G E 8 December’s Home Ed Challenge This month we have a couple of fun Christmas challenges up our sleeves.

    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

  • A Victorian Christmas
    Learning @ Jersey Heritage A Victorian Christmas No era in history however, has influenced the way in which we celebrate Christmas, quite as much as the Victorians. Before Queen Victoria’s reign started in 1837 nobody in Britain had heard of Santa Claus or Christmas Crackers. No Christmas cards were sent and most people did not have holidays from work. The wealth and technologies generated by the industrial revolution of the Victorian era changed the face of Christmas forever. Charles Dickens wrote a book ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843, which actually encouraged rich Victorians to give money and gifts to the poor. Queen Victoria and her family encouraged people to adopt a high moral tone. Charitable works by the wealthy and church going for all were an important part of Victorian life. The Christmas service was traditionally held in the Parish or village church with a Nativity scene often prominently displayed near the altar and the church decked out with greenery and candles. The whole family and all the members of their household were called by the pealing of the bells and carols were sung during the special Christmas service. Although most people did not stop work until Christmas Eve, the traditional Victorian Christmas began with the making of the Advent wreath from ivy, laurel and holly and four candles, one to be lit on each of the four Sundays of Advent symbolizing faith, joy, love and peace. They may also have made an Advent calendar, with windows to be opened daily until Christmas Eve. The custom of 26 December as "Boxing Day” also originated during the Victorian era.
