The Jolly Christmas Postman morals teach children all about giving and sharing. This includes great selflessness as he travels far and wide, stopping at nothing to make sure that all the fairytale characters across the land receive their gifts and have a lovely Christmas. Off through the snow the Postman rides, with more than a meal in his insides. He’s all shook up and all of a-quiver, and it’s not just the cold that makes him shiver. There’s a letter he’d rather not deliver… Make a list of where people in the class have been on holiday. Can you find the places on a map? Did you send a postcard?
