This purposeful Christmas-themed activity has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book Santa Post by Emma Yarlett. These no-prep worksheets will allow you to check your students’ ability to comprehend the text.   After reading the text, students will identify adjectives that describe how Santa felt after receiving Amy’s late Santa post. They will use this vocabulary to compose Santa’s diary. As the story begins five sleeps before Christmas, students can write up to five diary entries, detailing Santa’s thoughts, feelings and actions in the lead up to Christmas. We have included multiple template options to suit the needs of your class, including:

1. Shading adjectives that describe Santa’s feelings and using these to write his diary (includes 18mm and 24mm lines).
2. Writing adjectives that describe Santa’s feelings and using these to write his diary (includes 18mm and 24mm lines).
3. Writing Santa’s diary (includes 18mm and 24mm lines).
4. Writing and illustrating Santa’s diary (includes 18mm and 24mm lines).
