Santa's home design? Maitland River students know
Design experts
The students in Maitland River Elementary School's Grade 1A and 1D classes seem to have
a handle on Santa's village and how it looks. Some thought it was a closely -guarded secret,
but it seems like these students know a little something we don't. Back row, from left: Mylah

Maitland River Elementary
School's Grade 1A class, along with
some help from the 1D class, tackled
the tough question of what does
Santa's village look like at the North
Pole.
While some focused on the house
and others on the workshop, they all
had a unique idea of what Santa's
home at the North Pole would look
like.
"Santa and Mrs. Claus live in the
red and white pole at the North Pole.
It's a lot bigger than people think,
but it's still not that big because
Santa is short. He's short and fat."
Kiley
"I think Santa's house would be
blue, but it might be red because it's
Christmas. Wait! No! It's brown
because that's a normal colour for a
house. Just because he's Santa
doesn't mean everything in his life is
green and red."
Liliana
"I think Santa's house is a square
and a triangle put together to make a
normal house with a roof. The
triangle is red and so is the square
because Santa Claus' suit is red."
Connall
"Santa's home looks like a candy
castle. It's a castle because that is
what Santa needs. That's why we
give him milk and cookies, because
otherwise he might eat his house."
Mikayla
"I think Santa's house looks like
the sky. Santa doesn't live in the sky,
but when he flies it's in the sky so he
wants his house to look like that.
Santa's place has a special spot that
makes him nappy and has a room for
Christmas."
Kyle
"I think Santa's house is red
because he looks red. Santa likes
red."
Dante
"I think Santa lives in his
workshop kind of because he needs
to make all the toys. It's red. I don't
know why"
Mylah
"Santa's house looks like a shed. I
watched Frosty the Snowman and it
looked like a shed. It's blue because
it's all windows."
Rory
"I think that Santa's house looks
brown. I watched a movie about it.
It's red too, not just brown, and it
looks like a normal house."
Nevaeh
"Santa doesn't have a house, he
has a workshop. On the inside, you
can see all the tables and on the
outside you can see all the elves and
reindeer and lots of snow."
Evan
"Santa's house has to look like a
big hotel because he has so many
people that have to live with him to
make toys. It's brown because that's
the colour of a hotel."
Zoey
"I think Santa's house looks like it
was made out of candy canes
because that's what the pole at the
North Pole kind of looks like."
Braydon
"Santa has a workshop. He doesn't
have a house. The workshop is red
with little white spots where the
elves work. It's always under the
snow."
Harlee
"I think Santa's house has brown
walls and a roof and lots of snow on
it."

"I think Santa's house kind of
looks like it's red. I watched a movie
and it looked red. I forget how big it
was though"
Sophia
"I think Santa's house is red
because Santa wears red clothes and
it's big because it has elves, toys,
reindeer and Mrs. Claus in it."
Maveric
"I'm pretty sure it has lots of holly
because it's always Christmas at
Santa's house. I would say it's
green and red, because those are
Christmas colours. I would say
it's fairly big with lots of elves and
two special messages about the
elves."
Isabella
"I think Santa's house is a black
shed. It's a really big black shed that
is black so he can find it in the
snow"
Rachel
"Santa's house is red. It looks like
a candy cane because Santa loves
Christmas and candy canes, but it's
not shaped like a candy cane because
that would be silly."
Hailey
"I think that if I saw Santa's
house, it would be red. It's special,
with different Christmas things. It's
green too because those are the
Christmas colours"
Sophia
"Santa's house is kind of red
because red is Santa's favourite
colour. It's probably a big house for
all the elves and toys waiting to be
made."
