This is a fun and engaging activity to get children to reflect on the past year and set some goals for the one ahead. To complete the winter themed activity children need to answer a series of questions and then colour the scarf in using their favourite colours. This is a great resource for tutor time and is suitable to use with all age groups

Day of the Dead is a two day Mexican celebration where the dead are honored and remembered. It is a time of joy and happiness, skulls are an important feature of the celebration and are seen everywhere. This resource includes five skulls that can be coloured and decorated. The designs are of varying difficulty levels and include a blank one for those that want to completely design their own skull. I have successfully used these templates with years 3,4,5 and 6 to create masks and bunting but they could also be used by both younger and older children. I also have Day of the Dead themed colouring pages available and a Day of the Dead presentation which offers a good introduction to the event. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/day-of-the-dead-presentation-dia-de-los-muertos-12748287
