Today Fred the Elf set our pupils a challenge! He sent them on an Elf Hunt around Whitelees!! Those pesky elves were hiding everywhere, they were on the Polar Express, in the fruit bowl and hiding in classrooms!!!
Everyone had fun searching out the elves and they all did a great job but there was one clear winner who managed to locate ALL 12 elves!!!
Don’t forget Christmas Jumper day tomorrow! Children can come in a Christmas jumper, something Christmassy or their own clothes! There will be no charge for this.
School finishes at 2.30pm on Friday 23rd December for the Christmas break.
We hope you all have a fun filled Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Parties will be held in the afternoon. Lunch will be at the normal time however, if you wish to take your child home for lunch in order to change them into their party clothes they can be collected from the office at 12.00pm by an adult. Children making their own way home for lunch will be dismissed at the normal time of 12.15pm. Children remaining in school can bring their party clothes with them to change during lunchtime.
We hope they all have some festive fun!
