Week with an Elf

Date: 9th Dec 2015 @ 1:32pm

What a week we had in P4! It all began with the children receiving anonymous letters over the weekend telling them about the importance of being on the nice list for Santa and avoiding the naughty list. This caused great excitement when the children returned to school and we had some fabulous discussions about who the letter may be from.

As the week progresses the children began to find little clues around the classroom and school. From elf dust sprinkled on desks to another floow up letter. We even watched a video that the elf had taken of the children in a lesson, maybe he was checking to see if everyone was deserving to remain on the nice list.

Some children spotted an elf sat outside the dinner hall one day. We even found elf selfies on our chairs one day. This has generated some fabulous writing from the children and we hope to have a celebration on Friday to share what we have been doing with other classes.

Here's what a few of the children in P4 have said about the two weeks. 

" I liked trying to find the elf around school in different places and hiding spots the most".

"What I liked about the elf on the shelf was when I walked into the classroom in the morning. We always have something new like a letter or a picture".

"I walked into the classroom after break. There was red sparkly glitter in front of my seat. I also liked looking at the elfie selfies".
