The Star
Note to Teacher/ Parent/ Tutor:
This activity follows Chapter Two of ‘The Christmas Tree’.
Copy the stars onto stiff paper or they are likely to bend when glued or painted.
Photocopying the stars onto lightly coloured paper is effective.
Textas are useful for colouring in the letters on the stars. They are bright and easy to use.
Each child will need both stars. The stars will be cut out and glued back to back.
Each child will need the instruction sheet.
You will need to read the instruction sheet with early readers. More developed readers will be able to read and follow the instructions with minimal help.
Before they begin the activity discuss with the children the colouring in of the words using a colour pattern. eg one letter red, one letter green or one word red and one word green.
Number 4 on the instruction sheet reads “Decorate your star”.
I have deliberately left this open ended so you can provide the art and craft materials that are available to you. (Gluing glitter in the points of the stars and around the words is one simple idea.) Before the children begin the activity it is a good idea to show them the materials which will be available for them to use.

The Star
You are going to make a star to hang in your classroom.
At the end of the year you will be able to take it home and hang it with the other decorations in your house.
Read and follow the instructions carefully.
Tick the box before you move on to the next number.
Work carefully so you end up with a beautiful star.
Instructions:
1. Read the words on your stars.
Tick the box when you have read the words on your stars.
2. Carefully colour each letter.
Before you start colouring in think of a pattern you could use.
(You may like to use the Christmas colours, red and green.)
Tick the box when you have coloured in all the letters.
Circle the correct answer. Did you colour the letters in neatly? Yes / No
3. Cut out the stars.
You are going to glue the stars together so it is important to
cut right on the line so they fit together properly.
It is good to cut on the outside of the black line so the star
has a black line around its edge. This makes the star look
smart. You will have to cut out slowly and carefully if you are
going to cut out right on the line.
Tick the box when you have finished cutting the stars out.
4. Decorate your star.
Tick the box when you have finished decorating your star.
5. Glue your stars back to back.
Tick the box when you have glued the stars back to back.
6. When the star is dry use a paper punch to punch a hole where the dot is on the star.
Hint: Be careful to keep the hole away from the edge of the star.
Tick the box when you have punched the hole in the star.
7. Thread a piece of ribbon, wool or string through the hole.
Now you can hang your star.
Tick the box when you have threaded the ribbon through the hole.
Congratulations. You have completed the Christmas Star
