Christmas Party
The Christmas Party was in December 20 at Kehtna Basic School.
Form 8 students organized the Christmas Party.
The preparation required quite a lot of effort but the students managed
well.
English teacher Evelyn helped with the Chirstmas Party, too.
The main idea was that new Santa Clause was needed in Lapland and a
bunch of unemployed animals and birds decided to apply for the job.
All the form 8 students had to choose an animal or a bird.
They chose very interesting animals: Kaarel was a Crow, Paul was a
Pigeon, Marten was a Frog, Tauri was a Cat, Kenet was a Dog, Sabri was
a Wolf, Sten was a Chicken and Henrik was a Sheep. They had to mimic
its voice. It turned out funnily.
Before the Christmas Party the students had made videos where they
introduced themselves and showed their place of living.
Other students were asked to describe different Estonian public figures
which were later mixed with the candidates.
The host Egert asked additional questions and every animal or bird
tried to convince the audiance of being the right candidate.
After that everybody could give their vote by clapping their hands and
the one who got he loudes noise, became the new Santa Claus.
The Crow was the winner and got his first task to give candies for
children.
Santa listened to all the students’ wishes and they put their wishes on
the Christmas tree.
Most of the students had similar wishes.
The Christmas Party was exciting for everybody.
