Have a variety of ingredients to make a basic recipe more interesting - for those cooking during their normal day.

Music's creativity day is to write a Christmas/winter based song in an hour. Pupils are to consider what context the song will be about and think about lyric structure and rhyming patterns, write the lyrics and then perform it with a set pattern of chords.
