Then ask your class to sequence the true facts into a logical order (the order they appear here) and write them up in their books. I have included an image of St. Nicholas and Father Christmas to add to the page so students can see where Father Christmas came from.

This festive activity asks your students to each draw around a verse from the very famous 'A Visit From St Nicholas' more commonly known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'. There are 14 verses so I got every student to do one and created a display in my room and a display on the corridor. Alternatively you could make it competitive.
An inspiration sheet of festive images is provided to help your class with their drawing.
This makes a wonderful display and could even be used to create a performance of the poem or assembly.

Develop descriptive and creative writing by asking your students to look at the detailed work of Pieter Bruegel.
This resource includes a lesson plan, and within a presentation a fun starter activity which looks at Bruegels 'Netherlandish Proverbs'. The presentation then gives an example of how to fill in the worksheet.
The worksheet is a metacognition task which asks students to look at the artwork, write what they can see and then what they are 'thinking', 'wondering' or 'feeling'.
A selection of three Bruegel artworks are also within the PowerPoint ready to print of.
A great resource to get your students creatively writing.
To make it clear, this is not a presentation on Bruegel, I'm just using a PowerPoint to hold the activities. The PowerPoint is 6 slides long.
Slide 1: Starter Activity including some info on Bruegel.
Slide 2: A slide with animation that looks in detail at 'Netherlandish Proverbs'
Slide 3: A Bruegel artwork to use with the example worksheet to demonstrate what you would like students to do.
Slides 4 - 6 Artworks to print off.
