The Home School Advent Calendar - 11th December

Tomorrow marks Poinsettia Day, highlighting the festive red-leafed plants commonly seen during this season. These plants are often regarded as Christmas flowers, and many people give them during this time to represent goodwill and community spirit. In religious circles, the shape of the poinsettia flower is believed to symbolise the Star of Bethlehem.

Think about purchasing one to give to someone who has significantly helped you this year as a way of saying thank you. Alternatively, you can draw inspiration from this theme to create some Christmas art today.
