The Christmas Tree Festival in the Salen church has become a highlight for us all.

I enjoyed looking at the trees in the Church.  We also did singing and we also did jigsaws and arts and crafts and lego.

I enjoyed making the design at the top of our Christmas tree.  I liked choosing from treasure.  Tommy P6

I enjoyed making the Christmas tree.  It was made out of willow, we weaved some willow into it.  We decorated it with ribbon and fluff.  I put lots of stuff on it, my favourite thing I put on was a little key that I put at the top, that was hidden.  I liked doing the activities when we were there.  Corynn P5

I liked putting random things on the Xmas tree like a bunch of keys, a fairy scene and some buttons.  I had to weave willow into the tree.  At the end I think it turned out FABULOUS!  Blue P6

 

It was fun choosing treasures to put on our tree. 

At the festival it was easy for me to decide which tree to vote for.  I enjoyed singing carols for people who were there.  Mairi P3

For our Christmas Tree I helped weave in some willow.  Then I decorated it with an octopus, a seahorse and two glittery boxes.  I think our tree was gorgeous.  Oak P2
