3. Explanation of a new theme:	Activity 1 Work in 3 groups. Group 1: Make chain decorations. Group 2: Make a pine cone New Year tree. Group 3: Make New Year cards.

Construction paper, glue, scissors, paint or felt-tip pens, glitter, cotton wool, shiny stickers and envelopes for Group 3. STEP 1: Say: ‘Open your books and look at the pictures.’ Then say showing to the relevant pictures: ‘Today we’re going to make paper chain decorations with different colours, a pine cone New Year tree and New Year cards.’ STEP 2: Divide the class into 3 groups. STEP 3: Put sheets of coloured paper, glues and scissors for Group 1 and say: ‘Use coloured paper, glue and scissors.’ Show to the chains in the textbook and say: ‘Make these chains.’ STEP 4: For Group 2, put pine cones enough for each pupil, cotton balls, small beads, glue and stars. Display and put an example pine cone tree that you made beforehand. To make the craft, have all the pupils in the group follow these instructions: 1. Glue a few cotton balls to the bottom of the pine cone. These look like snow and help the “tree” stand upright. 2. Put a little dab of glue at the tips of the pine cone and then sprinkle on glitter. 3. String some small beads onto thread and then tie off the last bead with a knot. Wrap the beads around the pine cone and glue them to the tree. 4. Top off the tree with a small star or other decoration. STEP 5: For Group 3, put some construction paper, glue and scissors. Show them an example New Year card you made beforehand similar to the one in the textbook and say: ‘Make a New Year card for one of your friends in the class.’ Then have the pupils make a card, draw, paint or use felt-tip pen to make a New Year scene on the card (Father Frost, a snowman, a New Year tree, etc.). They can then decorate the cards with glitter, cotton wool for snow, shiny stickers, etc. After that they can write a New Year message inside the card with your help. Make sure they include their classmate’s name with the message. Finally, the pupils put their New Year card into an envelope.
