How far does Santa have to travel? Use to website ‘Free Map Tools’ to analyse Santa’s journey from Lapland to their home. Students can practise mapping and basic GIS tools by entering their home’s location to show Santa’s route on Google maps. Students to then write a description of Santa’s journey describing the location of countries, stating coordinates of major cities and modes of transport that could be used (other than his sleigh, of course!). Christmas geography news |

| History
|
The Pianist (Holocaust)
Conspiracy (Holocaust) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ (Cold War) Bridge of Spies (Cold War) Joyeaux Noel (WWI – Christmas Truce) |
 |
| Law | Watch ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ for courtroom festive film
For the non-festive films, try ‘12 Angry Men’, ‘Anatomy of Murder’ and ‘Philadelphia’ (the movie not the cheese!) For reading – I highly recommend ‘Eve was Framed’ by Helena Kenedy and ‘How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic’ by Madsen Pirie |
 |
| Politics
|
As we move towards UK ideologies in year 12, try watching ‘The Iron Lady’ for Thatcherism and the rather dated but classic socialist film ‘A Very British Coup’
For year 13s, try ‘All The President’s Men’ about Watergate and ‘Frost / Nixon’ |
 |
| Psychology
|
Looking at the psychology of happiness, showing how close and loving relationships is more important than having an abundance of toys and presents. Relates to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs from the Humanistic Approach. |  |

RE / RS / Philosophy and Ethics |
