Sam elf was easier to spot this morning, he was very proudly sitting on the 'Helper of the day' sofa and wearing one of our stickers on his top. As it is usually the job of the helpers of the day to fill in our daily calendar, Sam had also had a try at doing this himself. He had a good try but got a little muddled, so our 'real' helpers of the day helped him out.
Many of you have been asking for a class list of names so that the children can write their Christmas cards. For legal reasons we cannot give out full names, but I have printed off a list of all the children's first names.
Just ask any of the Early years staff if you would like a copy. This morning when the children cam in, it proved to be a little trickier finding Sam, our classroom elf. We hunted high and low, and began to wonder where he was...until one of the children spotted him hiding in the raffle ticket jar! A very mischievous and very flexible Sam, had managed to squeeze himself into the jar and thought he could hide amongst all the raffle tickets....but his smart red suit gave him away....we are just to smart for you Sam!
When the children came into the classroom this morning, they found that all their name-cards had been thrown on the floor!..........and who was behind it?..........yes, it was Sam our class elf!
When the children came in to school this morning, they found that Sam the Elf had been making snow angels!.... He made rather a mess on the table, and Miss Rushbrooke got covered in 'snow' trying to clear Sam's mess up!
We are wondering what we will find him up to tomorrow morning!.... During todays cooking session, we completed the last stage (almost) of our Christmas cakes - the icing. Mrs Rushbrooke mixed up some icing and put some on the top of the cakes, we then had a go at carefully spreading the white icing around the sides of the cake, and chose a 'Merry Christmas' to pop on the top.
We think they look rather yummy! Thank- you for helping us make our Christmas cakes Mrs Rushbrooke! This morning during registration, and after our 2 'helpers of the day' had opened the first doors of our advent calendar, a very excited Mrs Rushbrooke burst through the classroom door with a large and very special parcel which was addressed to all the children in the class. It had a special stamp mark on the front, which informed us the package had been sent from THE NORTH POLE!.....this could only mean 1 thing......the package had been sent by SANTA!
Inside the package was a letter from Santa, explaining that he had sent one of his elves to keep a watchful eye out for him in the lead up to Christmas. Also in the package there was a special book and a handsome little elf in his very smart red outfit. Each evening after his day at school, the elf will report back to Santa at the North Pole with how the children in Hughes class have been behaving, and each morning when the children come in, the elf will be hiding in a different spot (possibly up to mischief) ready for them to find, sometimes with a challenge for them to complete. There is just one rule.....the children must not touch the elf, or his magic will disappear. The first challebge which the Elf gave to the children was to give him a new name, and after lots of suggestions and discussion, they have decided on the name.....SAM! Well done to all the children who entered the 'Super-pig' competition- we had some fantastic entries in Hughes class. Every child who entered was presented with a certificate, and the winner was presented with a prize!
Once again, well done to Isla, Branston and Heidi, and to our winner....Riley! In our maths lessons this week we have been learning about length. We measured lots of different items from wooden spoons to socks and then put them in order from shortest to longest. We then even measured the length of ourselves.....some of us laid down in pairs on the floor and the rest of the children had to decide which of us was longer.........
