What is more common on top of a Christmas tree and
why?
By: Abi, Alisha, Mia
The most common tree topper
is an angel. The angel is most common because it is referred to Christmas
angel. Other tree toppers maybe ribbon bows Santa Claus Christian crosses
Christmas Owls and sunbursts. Tree toppers may be made of blown glass medal or
plastics around other materials. In the
Christmas story angel sang on high to announce the birth of Jesus the fairy on top of the tree was originally a little figure of little Jesus. In late 17th
century Germany this became a shining angel. Windsor’s castles Christmas trees
were topped by a large angel In Victorian Britain little girls would take down
the angel down after Christmas and dress him in dolls clothes. Eventually the
angel was turned into a female fairy completing with a wand the angels hung on
the trees represent the angels who Herald the birth of Messiah. The star is one
of the most important ornaments of the Christmas tree. It is indicating the
guiding stars which lead the Shepherds and Kings to the new born Jesus Christ.
Why are elves so short?
By: Jaylah Katie and Rheya
Have you ever wondered why
elves are so small? Well we have the answer!!!
Elves are magic like Santa, so they
could have made themselves small to fit in small spaces for emergencies. Elves
are also short so that they can have small hands to paint little details on the
toys. The first elf book came out in 1850 and there was a movie. Elves act as Santa’s special helper. They
have certain jobs like sorting or toy making or super-vising. Some even go with
Santa to drop all the toys in the little kid’s stockings.
Some people think it’s
because they have embodied a child’s spirit because children are so small. I
think it is because Elves are soooo old that they shrink. I think that elves are small because Santa is
magic so he made them small. I think that instead of aging they get younger so
before any of us where alive, they were tall. I’d imagine when elves are born
they are about the size of a ginger-bread man!!!!!
There are your answers
folks!!!!

About Headphones
Aaliyah, Adrian D. and Olivia
The
ear buds/headphone has a piece of plastic that vibrates in response to sounds. When
the plastic moves it is creating sound waves that go from your earphones / headphones
in to your ear. Another answer that we found is an electric signal is sent from
your music system to the cable of your headphones. The headphone & ear buds
have the same system it goes from the music player to the cord to your ears so
you can hear.
Why
Do People Hurt Other People?
By: Cameron, Hunty and
Keeshan
It is a sickness called
“Munchausen Syndrome.” But it only sometimes causes people to hurt other
people. It also makes people that have the type of syndrome to hit others when
they don’t try to or they don’t even know if they hurt another person.
Munchausen syndrome isn’t the same thing as hypochondria, which is a sickness
that people believe that they are sick.
