The Xmas Packaging

Project

This on-line project is based around the song, the Twelve Days of Christmas. 

The aim of the project is select a food with an association with the song and construct a suitable Xmas package to send this food to a friend or relative. 

The project could be a technology, ICT and social studies-based classroom study.

The packages are now ready for viewing and judging - (Note all these files are very big and may take some time to download)
