Each year, Harby School decorate a tree for the village. This year all the trees will be decorated as "songs". I organised what we would do as a school. As we have only 83 children in the school, I suggested using the 12 Days of Christmas as our theme - with each child in KS1 and KS2 making a decoration each, and the children in Reception making the remaining items between them.
Key Stage Two: "People"
Year 5/6: Drummers, Pipers and Maids = 31
Year 3/4: Lords and Ladies = 19
Key Stage One: Birds
Year 1/2: Swans, Geese, Colly Birds, and French Hens = 22
Reception: Five Gold Rings, Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree = 6
NB: "Five Gold Rings" is thought to have referred to five "goldspinks" (gold finches) or gold-necked pheasants.
As part of this, I also lead a whole school assembly explaining what we were going to be doing, and what each of the twelve days stood for.
