Born as Janet Hall in Yorkshire in 1944, she studied at Sunderland Technical College, where she met Ahlberg.They will help you to save time in creating an enjoyable and interactive learning experience for young learners. As you can see, there are plenty of ways that you can include The Jolly Christmas Postman in your teaching, no matter the subject.

The literacy activities develop confidence with reading and writing, introduce new vocabulary, storytelling, role play and drama, and can be differentiated for key stages and learning styles. The Jolly Christmas Postman is an amusing tale that follows the journey of a postman doing the rounds on his bicycle on Christmas Eve. As he rides by bicycle with “six letters in pockets”, he also pays a visit to Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from Oz, The Giant from Jack and the beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, the Wicked Witch, Goldilocks and Cinderella! A good example of this is this Jolly Christmas Postman-themed number counting worksheet, which you can use to add a dash of festivity to your end of term maths lessons. Along the way he stops and chats to lots of other well known characters including the Seven Dwarfs and the Dish and the Spoon from the Hey Diddle Diddle nursery rhyme.This book is very interactive with interesting Christmas mail and presents to take out of the envelopes and share. He has a letter of apology for the three bears from Goldilocks, a postcard from Jack for the giant, a solicitor’s letter on behalf of Little Red Riding-Hood for the wolf who ate grandma, and so on. I love the idea that at Christmas we can forget this busy technology driven world, with it’s fancy electronic mail, and go back to the finer things in life. In the first book of this now classic series, we are taken down the dark, dark street to the dark, dark house and into the dark, dark cellar in which the skeletons live. Each of these super useful The Jolly Christmas Postman teaching resources are incredibly easy to download, print and begin using in the classroom.
