We all went round all the activities like:Sheperds house with Mrs Kingsley, DIY with Mr Middlebrough, Wise men's house with Mrs Zaman, the journey with Mrs Roper,the stable with Mrs Mathews and what is special about Christmas with Mrs Daw

Last Friday St Johns had a christmas activity day. What we did was we went all around the school to every classroom and did a different activity every time. Some of the activitys included kneading dough, drawing your star sign e.g. Aries, leo, virgo, and sitting round the shepards fire. Another activity was where we went into Josephs workshop and made a small scale model of Baby Jesus' manger. Every time we left a place they gave us a gift that we put in our bag.

ARMY OFFICERS ARE FUMMING!

Recently on christmas day in france, the British and the Germans had a football match beacuse they wanted to stop fighting for one day.

As the british woke up and peered out of the trench they could see crystal clear snow amd the trees where compleetley white, dead men looked like toppled snow men. The first suprise for the british was when an unarmed German came over and planted a christmas tree then commander Parksey came over and shook his hand then all of the soldiers came rushing into no mans land a german who was a barber gave free haircuts and the soldiers were ecschanging gifts.

Suddenly a football rolled in from nowhere and then a huge football match begun. Hats where goal posts there was no reffere no keeping score and the British had more players than the Germans it was more like ice-skating than football.

world war football match BY WILLIAM LOOK AT MINE PPPPPPPLLLEEAAASSEEE

world war 1 football match



Two sides which were Britian and Germans had a football match in no mans land on christmas day 1915.

That morning they could see the cheif  arriving with servants. He cooked all kinds of treats for the soilders like :Bacon and some nice chocolate pudding . You could start to see a tor of a extremly big chrismas tree over the trenche . Every person in the trenche stood up in the trenche and peered over the the muddy wall of the trenche . There was a german in the middle of No Mans Land . But you could see dead bodys covered in snow .



A ball sudenly bounced acrose the No Mans Land and Alex (my best freind)quikly decided that a football match would be a good idea to do .So we started a match that had no hurting no referee no count of score .


After the match the officers were discusted throw what we had done. If we had stepped another step out of the trenche we would be shot to death.

Some people say this was good some dont.This was  a big deel because they stoppedfighting for just one day to have a football match

Generals threaten to kill soldiers

Germans and britain were fighting the war was in world war one.It was in no mans land in 1914 it happened because  the germans wanted more land it was on christmas day.

The soldiers when they woke up they got presents.All they got  from there friends and famiand plantedly was coko oxocupes chocolate bacon  a pipe tobacco the Queens letter pencils paper and thats all they got.


Then a german soldier stepped out of the trench  a tree  on the snow  and they played a football match. The germans where were happy they werent shooting at them the generals werent happy with the football match  were scared of the generals they said they will kill them if they do it again.


They felt really happy because they ended the war  for a day on christmas day. and that happened by playing a football match.The soldiers were happy exited suprised.

It was a really good idea because  they can have fun instead of killing because they were fighting and nowthere not

By Joe Vanessa and Mary

WW1

'Many myths and legends surround World War One and Christmas - especially the first Christmas of the war in December 1914. The British public and the soldiers fighting in the mud of Flanders were given the impression by those in charge that the Germans, fighting possibly less than100 metres away, were blood-lusting psychopaths bent on destroying all in their way. Any form of friendship between the two sides fighting the war, would have been seen as detrimental to this impression. While the Germans remained the "evil Hun", the government and the military could justify theirHowever, the first Christmas of 1914 clearly broke the impression that those in charge wanted to portray. For many years - even after the war - the government wanted to maintain the image of the dastardly Hun and any references to any fraternisation between both sides was clamped down on. There were whispers here and there but no actual evidence. The same happened with the football match between the British and the Germans.'

How shall we live in community? What do people say?

Judaism: All people are responsible for one another.
Judaism and christianity: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your strenth. Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
Judaism and christanity: And what does the LORD  require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. By Maisie, Beth and Danielle.

How should we live in a community

All people are responsible for one another.

This means that everyone cares and looks after each other. 

How to live in a comunity

 Cristians belive that you should love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. That means dont hate your enemy even if they battle you. And pray for those who are cruel to you.

Royal Wedding

On Friday 29th April Prince William married Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey In London.The ceremony started at 8.00am and finished at 1.30pm. Prince William is 28 and Kate is 29. When they arrived in Westminster Abbey they sang hymns when they were finished kate carried on walking. The name of one of the hymns was (I Was Glad).Afterwards they headed towards Buckingham Palace to stand on the balcony.all royal couples do it after they have been married.

kates dress and wedding

I think kates dresss was old  fashioned. As my mum predected     the  Queen  was wearing  yellow not green , yellow. I think thaat princess Beatrice's dress was    well  I cant really describe it it was like she was wearing scrumples up deer antlers on her head dyed in pink, but on the other hand princess Eugne was wearing a voilet blue dress that showed up Beatrice in a very big light. The venue was AMAZING at the abbey                 allthough what I diddent get is that they had trees inside plus some people in the alter could not see kate and wills saying there vowles.

Creative Partnerships

From the 16th of March to the 1st of April year 5 and year 6 have been working together for an Art project. Both of the year groups have chosen an accessory for our favourite celebrities or characters to create out of art e.g empty cartens,boxes,jugs etc etc.

When art week first started an artist came in called Mr.Cahill he showed us different ways to make a piece of art work.On the second week on Monday Mr.Cahill gave us all an empty box. We wondered what for he told us, `you must pretend that youve never seen this box in your life`, And we had to put a random object in from home.We all tagged the box then rubbed it over with a tea bag to make it look old.

The second week we had to hide the box we had been given and we couldnt let the other groups see where we were going to hide it.When we had hidden it we got a description of the other groups box then we had to find it, when we found it we opened it and saw other groups mysterious objects.

Both of the teachers were involved in our activites and on Friday the 1st of April all parents are invited to see our art work and we made a magazine to advertise our  art work.  The magazines will cost a pound each for the Tsunami in Japan. Drinks and snacks will be sold at the cafe in year 5 class room.
