The Bluebells class have been working really hard this term on our Christmas nativity. We have all taken on a role of either mice or spiders, have learned the words and signs for many songs and have been practising dances related to the story.
We have now moved our rehearsals to the Gym Hall and we are all coping really well with this and are looking forward to you seeing the final result.

The Bluebells class completed a fine motor skills activity where we created our very own Christmas trees. We had to peel and place gems and stickers to decorate our trees.

The Bluebells class participated in one of our 50 Things Outdoor challenges today. We took the opportunity of a rainy day and experienced a rainstorm whilst being appropriately dressed for the weather. We raided the used and found box for a selection of wellies and went to a nearby postbox and sent our Santa letters. We all loved being outside in the rain and jumping in the puddles!

The Bluebells class had a surprise visit from Elfie this week. He arrived with a letter from the North Pole saying that he was Santa’s friend and was here watching for kindness in the Bluebells classroom. Of course Elfie has witnessed this lots already this week 
Unfortunately, Elfie has had to learn about following the school rules as this week he has been stealing our snacks and he also hid some of our furniture!!!

The Bluebells class wrote their letters to Santa yesterday. We used the Smyths catalogue, scanned and cut out items we wanted and used these in our Santa letters.
We are excited to go and post them on Thursday

The Bluebells have worked very hard this week creating biscuits to sell at the Christmas Market. We used fondant icing and cake decorations to make them look like Christmas baubles.
We are selling them for £1 a bag on Saturday

The Bluebells class have worked hard this week on our Christmas snowglobes. We painted a sleigh, reindeer and a candy cane. We glued snow and put glitter for decoration. Also, we made a mini Santa and presents.
We hope you enjoy looking at our snowglobe in the atrium at the Christmas Fayre.
