This links the tradition of decorating of Christmas trees to the Old Testament. It turned out really well. Our German student also kindly created her own German advent calendar, which we look forward to opening every day, learning more about German traditions and customs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1567_f_improf_191x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"191\" height=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have also been practising our songs for \u201cPanto Pandemonium\u201d and, with just over a week to go, the pressure is on.

This Sunday they are performing a selection of Christmas songs at the Aberdeen Music Hall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, we had a whole day of baking in preparation for the Christmas Fayre. We made some delicious truffles and some marshmallow skewers dipped in chocolate among other tasty things. They were a huge hit at the Fayre and I would like to say a big thank you to all the boys and girls who gave up their Saturday to help out at the Fayre. It was a huge success!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1566_f_improf_209x209.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1562_f_improf_169x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1563_f_improf_193x193.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"193\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the days leading up to the Christmas holidays we also have some lovely activities planned, such as the performance of \u201cThe Bossy King\u201d, class Christmas party, trip to see Pinnochio, performance of \u201cPanto Pandemonium\u201d and our annual carol service at Kings College.
