We have been really busy in the run up to the Christmas holidays and wanted to share some of the fun things we’ve been doing!

Jamie, our class elf, has still been getting up to mischief! We found him and some friends playing with trains when we came back from Music last week.

 We used Cosmic Kids yoga to make sure we were calm and relaxed before our Christmas concert last week. It was a special Christmas themed session and we loved it!

We decorated our very own mini Christmas tree. We used different shades of green to create the colour we wanted for our tree. Once we put it all together we added glitter to make it sparkle. They looked great!

We watched The Snowman and used this as a stimulus for our writing. We’ve been reading the Michael Morpurgo novel remake of the story and used both the novel and video clip to then retell the story in our own words.

On Wednesday an elf came to our class. He is a little bit cheeky. He arrived in a box that was sent from the North Pole. A note came in the box with the elf and it told us he likes cookies. We named him Jamie. (CMcF, NJ, JM, AL)

On Thursday Jamie sent us a letter and in the letter there were little cards so we could write our elf names. We used the first letter in our name and our birthday month and matched these up to the poster to help us make our elf name. (RH, BMcG)

On Friday he photocopied himself. He did it while we were sleeping. He asked us to write down words to describe what he looks like and what he behaves like. (MH, EB)

BMcG made up a little rhyme to describe what Jamie had been up to on Friday….”I am an elf and I printed myself!”

We’re having great fun with Jamie in our class!
