The Beautiful Game

After much deliberation, we decided to go for our initial idea and do a modern twist on the Christmas Truce of 1914. Where British and German troops put aside the war on christmas eve for a game of footie.
After much talk we realised that most of the class was focusing on famous deaths or negative issues and we thought it was important to do something 'BEAUTIFUL'. When researching the event we found out that the troops, together rummaged through what they had to put together a make-shift ball. This was something we thought was a really nice was of symbolising the opposing groups coming together as one. This was the main focus of our project the making of the ball.

As christmas was fast approaching we thought that was a really nice way to get all the student is a festive mood,  to forget about all their studies for half and hour and unite together as a class for a fun filled festive game of football.
