The Christmas tree challenge encourages the children to use their imaginations, skills and wider knowledge of the world to create a tableau. They can use any resources that they might find, the only restriction that that they must incorporate a Christmas tree into the scene (but it can’t be used as ‘A Christmas Tree’ that would be too easy).
Once they have completed the build they then have to explain to the other children what they have made, which parts they thought were successful and anything they may want to change. At this point the rest of the class can give feedback and ask questions.
