English – The Christmas Truce
This week we have begun to learn about an incredible moment in history: the Christmas Truce. We watched a very special video and talked about the emotions that the soldiers might have felt during this extraordinary day. Using some incredible websites we looked at some real-life letters from soldiers and stole some highly unusual vocabulary: ‘the cold knocked the mud into a cocked hat’ and ‘hob-nobbing with the enemy.’ We have planned our letters and will write them next week. Here is the video and one of the websites we looked at if you’d like to read some letters for yourselves.
