I'll be creating a perfect paper star with just one snip

in this week's Quick Trick.

We'll be SNOWING you how to make some fruity festive treats.

No Clubhouse Christmas would be complete

without some Christmas cracker jokes.

It's going to be tinsel-tastic.

Let's go!

But before all that,

Pandra is heading to Scotland to hang out with some reindeer pals.

Let's go!

Hi, I'm Pandra and I am six years old.

I love playing with my baby brother Oakley.

I like going to taekwondo.

Hi-yah!

But there is one thing I love more than anything else.

Reindeer!

I fell in love with reindeer when I was only two years old.

In my bedroom, everything has to have a reindeer on it.

Reindeer shed their antlers every year, but they grow back.

These antlers are from a reindeer called Blue.

I love Blue so much that my family and I decided to adopt him.

Where I live, there are not any reindeer so every month,

me and my family travel a long way to go and see them.

When we arrive at the Reindeer Centre,

I always meet my friend Fiona who helps look after the reindeer.

-Hi, Pandra.

-Hi, Fiona.

-Are you ready to come and help with the reindeer today?

-Yeah!

Excellent.

I'm going to put you hard to work, you're going to carry this for me.

I have to walk up a really big mountain to see Blue

and the other reindeer.

Hi, Blue.

This is Blue.

His furry nose always tickles my hands.

-Shall we call Moose over?

-I think so, will you give me a hand?

-Yeah.

THEY CALL TO THE REINDEER

Hi, Moose.

This reindeer is called Moose.

Once I've seen Blue, I like to go to the paddocks and see the rest

of the reindeer which aren't on the mountain.

Come on.

Whenever I feed a reindeer, I always wash my hands after.

I chat about reindeer all the time and tell people amazing facts

that they might not know.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hey.

-Did you know that reindeer can sleep standing up?

-Wow, that's amazing.

-Wow.

Then, when it gets late, I'm lucky enough to help feed

the reindeer their supper and put them to bed.

I'm Pandra and this is what I do.

# The Let's Go Club. #

Well, Pandra, you know how much I like animals and I would love

to adopt my very own reindeer. Blue is just so cute.

I know, with his little reindeer antlers.

It wouldn't be Christmas in the clubhouse

without our very own Father Christmas and snowmen.

-Take a look at these festive treats.

-Absolutely.

I'm with Ethan and Niamh. We're making some Strawberry Santas.

I'm with George and Judah and we are making Banana Snowmen.

We've all washed our hands so are we ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Let's go ho-ho-ho!

First, we need to get everything ready.

Let's chop up our strawberries.

So that's one for you, Ethan.

There is one for you, Niamh,

and we want to chop our stalks off.

As close to the stalk as you can cos we want it to be nice

and flat. Oh, perfect, Niamh, well done. Cool.

Then we want to chop this little top off here

cos that is going to be the top of Father Christmas' hat.

Perfect. Now we take a spoonful of icing sugar

and we mix it with our cream cheese.

For our snowmen bodies,

we are going to need some banana pieces.

Judah, if you can cut it into the same size pieces all along.

Let's get rid of this and Georgia, if you could cut off the stalks

cos we need all the pieces to be the same size for our bodies.

So, if we tip our strawberries up like this.

Brilliant. That's going to be his body.

And then we are going to spoon some cream cheese onto the top of that.

What do you think this cream cheese mixture is going to be on his face?

-What does Father Christmas have?

-Beard.

-A beard, exactly.

That's what it's going to look like.

Finally, we pop his little hat on the top. Perfect.

He has got a little tiny hat, hasn't he?

It's time for us to put our snowmen together

so we both have some sticks.

If you want to take this one and what do snowmen wear on their feet?

-Boots.

-Boots, they do,

so we are going to put a blueberry on the top of our sticks.

That's great. Just to about there.

OK, for the body, we are going to need three pieces of banana each.

And slide it down. Brilliant. Second piece, we go from the top.

Perfect. And slide it down. One more.

If you could push that down for me. OK, now for the hat.

There you go. What's on the top of a hat?

-What's on the top of your hat, Judah?

-A bobble.

-A bobble.

We need another blueberry. I will put that through.

I think we are just about done here.

I'm going to ask you to take some chocolate chips, Ethan.

-What do you think these chocolate chips are going to be?

-The eyes?

The eyes, absolutely. Let's take our chocolate chips

and put the pointy bits into our cream cheese.

Put two in so they look like eyes. Oh, they look great.

Look at those, Niamh.

We need to pop a bobble on the top of Father Christmas' hat.

So, take a dollop of your cream cheese...

That's it, perfect.

We are going to need five chocolate chips each

so we need three in total for the face and two for the buttons.

-What do you think we're missing now?

-The nose.

The nose, exactly, and we have some chocolate orange noses.

There we are. Once you and one for you. What do you reckon, guys?

-Don't they look cool? BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Yeah!

-And that's how you make...

-ALL:

-Strawberry Santas!

-And...

-ALL:

-..Banana Snowmen!

You can find out how to make these Christmassy treats

along with more cool stuff on the CBeebies website.

-Lizzie, I've got a Christmas present for you.

-Have you?

-Can I open it now?

-Absolutely. It's some Christmassy Send-Ins.

Brilliant!

Holly has made this colourful Christmas tree

after a visit to see Santa in his grotto.

Declan and his brother Freddie have been busy

with their home-made tinsel wreaths.

And Cerys has made a door wreath too, using pine cones,

glitter and pipe cleaners.

Finn has been busy making Christmas cards to give to his family

and friends.

And so has Isabella, too. They are crackers!

Desi has put her handmade glittery star

on top of her mini Christmas tree.

Sophie and Joseph have made chocolate reindeer

and are showing them to their sister Isabelle.

Fatya loves The Let's Go Club almost as much as she loves her sari.

And here is Joshua wearing the club wristband he made.

And Scarlet has made one, too. Welcome to the club, both of you.

You are all a galaxy of Christmas stars.

You certainly are and if you've made anything that you'd like

to show us, don't forget to send it in and we'll put

-our favourites on the website.

-YULE be sorry if you don't.

Just grab a grown-up, visit the Let's Go Club and get clicking.

Where has Martin got to because I haven't seen him in a while.

I bet he's up to mischief. Shall I go and find him?

-Definitely.

-OK.

Me? Mischievous? I'm just hanging out with my friends.

You guys don't think I'm mischievous, do you?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-Oh, really?

If you think that I'm too mischievous,

I'm just going to be really serious from now on.

-I think we can make you laugh.

-I don't think so.

Come on, everyone, let's do this.

Who brings presents to kittens at Christmas?

I've no idea. Who does deliver presents the kittens?

Santa Paws.

LAUGHTER

-That's a good one! Who else has got a joke?

-I have.

-Go on, then.

What you get if you cross a duck and Santa?

No idea. What do you get if you cross Santa and a duck?

Christmas quackers.

LAUGHTER

Christmas quackers! Very good!

What do monkeys sing on Christmas?

No idea. What do monkeys sing on Christmas?

-Jungle Bells.

-Jungle Bells!

Not even a chuckle.

Those jokes were actually really good. Well done.

Christmas isn't just about jokes and crackers,

it's celebrated by Christians all over the world.

Here's a song about it.

# Christmas is a time A very special time

# It's celebrated far and wide

# Jesus Christ they say

# Was born on Christmas Day

# When December 25th arrived

# There'll be presents by the fire and carols from the choir

# Calling a Nativity

# Every person young and old

# With red or green gold

# Decorates the Christmas tree

# Christmas is a time A very special time

# I've dreamt of in the whole year through

# A season filled with joy

# For every girl and boy

# I'm sure you feel the same way, too

# With friends and family

# There's nowhere I'd rather be

# This Christmas...

# With you. #

ALL: Happy Christmas!

The Let's Go Club!

Hello, everyone. I'm an elf and I'm going to be taking a selfie.

You might want to call it an ELFIE!

Think it'll catch on?

SHUTTER CLICKS

You guys have been sending in loads of Christmassy pictures

and videos. Let's take a look at some of them.

Joseph is getting ready for Christmas

by setting up his Nativity scene.

Here's Ivy making the most of the snow to go sledding in Lapland.

And Finn has been baking Christmas star biscuits with ginger,

cinnamon and chocolate! Mmmm! Yummy!

And Zack and Max have used plastic bottles and paper to make

these superb snowmen.

Last week's the Let's Go Club space special

inspired Noah and Arthur to make paper cup rockets.

Erin made a rocket, too, from a cardboard tube and paper. Blast off!

This is Daisy with the terrific telescope she made

so she can look at the stars.

And Julia made a brilliant rocket backpack to take her sister

Sofia all the way to the moon.

OK, prepare to get starry eyed for this week's Quick Trick.

It's the perfect paper star,

and you can make this with just one snip of your scissors.

What you need is some wrapping paper.

I'm using this wrapping paper

from my present all the crew at the clubhouse got me.

Let's take a little look at it. I love unwrapping presents.

Oh, look! It's Martin's Book Of Best Jokes.

Let's take a little look inside.

There's nothing in it! Very funny, guys. Very funny.

OK, so let's make a perfect star.

First of all you need to take your wrapping paper

and then you need to fold it in half.

Make sure that the edges

of your folds match up perfectly.

Then I'm just going to

fold this little bit over to here.

Just give it a little nip at the edge.

I've got a little mark here,

and this corner has to meet up with the little mark.

And then we have to make sure that we do our edges really well.

We hold this little bit here and then take this edge

and we're going to take it to this little bit.

And this looks just like an ice cream cone.

OK, so we get a pair of scissors.

We take it just about here,

and the idea is to cut across the bottom of your wrapping paper.

And look what happens when you open it up.

You should have the perfect... paper star!

Here it is!

And that's your perfect paper star Quick Trick done.

Time for some more stars now in our Christmassy We Did This.

Hi, I'm Sienna and this is my mum Jody.

We love dancing and we have been chosen to be

a part of this year's CBeebies Christmas show, The Nutcracker.

So we're going to show you all the fun we had

getting ready for the big show.

Before you do any dancing, you always have to warm up.

OK, Mum, let's get dancing.

I'm playing a character of the mouse

and my mum is being a puppet toy.

Whenever I'm not at school or doing my homework,

I always try and practise at home.

It's the day before me and my mum perform in the CBeebies Nutcracker.

I'm a little bit nervous but I'm so excited!

The Nutcracker is a story of Clara and Fred's adventure

in the Land Of Sweets where toys come alive.

But a dance-off between the toys and the mice

could ruin Christmas for everyone.

I've just come off stage and it's amazing!

I just want to go back and do it again and again!

We love dancing together, so we did this.

-OK, Let's Goers, it's Best Of Club Dance time.

-Join in at home

and get your Christmas groove on.

-Check out my super starry move.

-Looking good, Lizzie!

-Thanks, Martin!

-Lovin' it!

-Are we ready, guys?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Let's go-ho-ho!
