We made our own Christmas tree out of card and coloured in our own Christmas baubles to hang from the tree. At the back of each bauble each child wrote a “hope” or a “wish” for Christmas 2105 and the coming year 2016. The end effect is beautiful and the messages the children wrote were from the heart and very meaningful, from their own personal family wishes, to looking after animals (from those animals locally who have found themselves in shelters to the global situation that is destroying habitats due to global warming). They also wished that everybody had a bed and a warm meal for Christmas.
