Christmas Crackers

In the Arts and Crafts class the Year 4 and Year 5 studens have made some Christmas Crackers to share with their families.

Christmas crackers are part of Christmas celebrations primarily in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zeland and South Africa. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper.

Crackers are typically pulled at the Christmas dinner table or at parties. The person with the larger portion of cracker empties the contents from the tube and keeps them. Typically these contents are a coloured paper crown, a riddle or a joke and a toy. However, we have put little chocolates instead of a toy.
