Whole School Christmas Cards
Whole School Christmas Card Focus 2022-2023
For the Christmas Cards this year, the children were inspired by the Culture of different Countries. Each year group were given a Country to explore and they chose how to create their cards.
The cards look fantastic and the children loved making them!
