Elf on the shelf

Date: 9th Dec 2015 @ 5:13pm

Just to let you know what's going on in Q4 with that pesky little elf. Our children have made up names for our elf and made acrostic poems out of them. We had 'Twinkletoes', 'Starfire', 'Stardust', JingleJewels' to name but a few. Ask your child what an acrostic poem is? Hopefully they'll be able to tell you all about them. Later this week our 'Big Write' is going to be a story about them going back with the elf to see all the weird and wonderful things in Santa's workshop. I'll be looking for some great describing words and time connectives to go in your paragraphs. Have a chat with your child about what they could describe. Don't forget to include all the amazing sights, sounds and smells that you may experience if you went to his workshop. Let's just hope Santa's not had his bowl of sprouts!
