Chantry has been lucky enough to be chosen as one of a few schools in the country to participate in a European Christmas decoration exchange.  Pupils have been putting their creative talents into practise and making some delightful mini Christmas trees. These are being sent to 30 different schools around Europe.  In return, we shall be receiving 30 bespoke decorations to hang on our own tree in the MFL block. They will be coming from all across Europe – from France to Romania, from Italy to Bulgaria, from Greece to Lithuania.  We can’t wait to see what the postman will be delivering over the next few weeks and will share every addition to our tree with you on Twitter.

“I am really looking forward to getting our European decorations.  I wonder if they will be things that we don’t normally put on our trees!”  Amy, Y6

“We are also sending information on our British Christmas traditions, such as the Queen’s speech or Brussel sprouts.  I am interested to see what traditions other countries have and how they compare to ours.” Gabby, Y8

“This is a great project to be involved in and is something quite unique for Chantry to be part of.”  Oscar, Y6
