Many Japanese speak English. But they do not think our thoughts. They worship at other shrines; profess another creed; observe a different code. They can no more be moved by Christian pacifism than wolves by the bleating of sheep. We have to deal with a people whose values are in many respects altogether different from our own.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

The Mission of Japan, 1937

Christmas Tree Crossword

Christmas Crossword SheetThis is a seasonal crossword puzzle for children who have mastered the concept of 'double letters'.

There are no numbers so it's a good idea to give out some scrap paper for practising spelling and working out which word goes where. Alternatively, print out page two of the PDF which features teh same words in anagram format. Two useful questions are:

"What's this?"

"How many letters...?"

The arrows have boxes so that a word can be checked off once it has been used. The words are as follows:

bell, candle, Christmas tree, gift, elf, ornament, reindeer, sack. sled, Santa, snowman, star.
