Elf on the Shelf had a great time in Class Bute.

The magic elf used the hoist to lower himself down to the floor to steal a present with David using his head switch to play the Mission Impossible background music. David thought this was hilarious.

Then it was off to the Mod for Reels on Wheels and Elfie even had his own tartan to wear and bells to shake.

• Class Whalsay couldn’t believe their eyes this morning when they arrived in class and found the Elf on the Shelf.

He had eaten some of their snacks and what a mess he had made.

Mrs McKinnon read them out the letter from Santa and then gave them a cane treasure hunt to complete around the school.

Elf joined them for snack and then Mrs McKinnon gave them a surprise for finding all the candy canes, they were to make decorate a ginger bread house.

Everyone had great fun with elf and excited that their class is now under “Elf Surveillance”.

Class Whalsay were delighted to receive Elf on the Shelf in their class yesterday.

He joined them at Music Therapy and then on their outing to the local pet shop. Alexander loved showing him the fish.

He even delivered some Christmas cards around the school.
