Lantern Making

21st Nov 2016

Our class was asked to take part in the Christmas Lantern Procession on Friday 25th November. As part of this, some people came in on Thursday 17th November to teach us how to make withy lanterns. They were made using willow branches, lots of masking tape, cling film and tissue paper. Some people made blue and some people made pink. We had a lot of fun. If you are going to the procession, look out for our class! The end of the procession will be for the switching on of the Christmas lights.
