Read the information and legend about St. Nicholas to your class and and then ask them to sort the facts into true and false. Wonderful Christmas listening skills activity! Great group work! 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. The Father Christmas can be coloured in as an extension activity.
Included in this resource are:
The Story to Read
True Facts
False Facts
True Place-mat

Images to decorate page.
This is all ready to laminate and use year after year.
This creative project teaches students about Pointillism, Seurat and colour mixing. It is flexible in length and could be completed as quickly as 1hr 20 mins. If students draw their own Eiffel Tower, or if you include some of the suggestions on the end of the lesson plan, it would be 2 to 3 hrs.
It starts with Students looking at a PowerPoint on Pointillism focusing on Seurat. (9 slides) It includes a script and looks at:
A definition for Pointillism
Seurat & Signac
How the Impressionists influenced them.
Two of Seurats paintings in detail.
Pablo Jurado Ruiz, a contemporary artists who used pointillism today.
How to mix colours using Pointillism.
There is then a worksheet where students can practice mixing colors with dots. This is an attractive worksheet which would look great in a sketchbook or as a display.
Students are then asked to recreate Seurat’s Eiffel Tower. More able pupils will draw the Eiffel Tower. Less able, or younger students, will place their dots over the faint image of the Eiffel Tower.
An extension task is suggested as well as other ideas to extend the project e.g. finding France on a world map and Paris on a France map.
I am always looking to improve my resources, so if you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments box.

This is a 'Great Fire of London' craft project which makes a wonderful display and reinforces learning in a very visual and creative way.
This project includes three cityscapes to print onto black sugar paper, two different sets of flames for students to colour in, a full set of illustrated instructions both as a PDF and a PowerPoint.
It's a simple project but highly effective if you wish to make a fantastic display. This can be a table top display, which I think is the most effective, or can be put on a wall.

A fun worksheet to practice mixing colours with dots. Created because of all the hats in Seurat's work.

1. A clever PowerPoint where you can click on the different months of the year on the first slide and it jumps to a slide with that month in French. Great for whole class learning or for individuals or pairs to work at the computer.
2. A second interactive PowerPoint where, as a class you read through the months of the year as they appear on screen, to practice and become confident with pronunciation.
3. A display of the months of the year in French - just print slides 18 - 29.
4. The PDF is a sorting activity. Print, laminate and cut up the months of the year in French and English and ask your student to match them.
Suitable for Primary School or Year 7.
This set of interactive PowerPoints generates a sum from the times tables every time you click within the circle. This allows you to choose a member from your class, click anywhere in the circle and a question will be revealed for that student. The PowerPoints cover:
2 & 5 Times Tables
3 & 4 Times Tables
6 Times Table
7 Times Table
8 Times Table
9 & 10 Times Tables
11 & 12 Times Tables
There is then a 'back button' to return to the circle after each sum.
This is a great way to assess learning through questioning.
I have also used this as an extension activity with pairs of students working at the computer and testing each other.
