The children of Year 5 and 6 had a great time at their party, the behaviour of all the children was exemplary. They are now full of Christmas spirit and a few have some wicked dance moves to share.

Friday 11th December

It's breakfast with Santa. Ho, ho, ho! What a wonderful morning the children have had having breakfast with Santa in the hall. We've had crumpets, toast and juice as well as some treats from Santa himself.  Ask your children what they've got up to. They may be hiding some chocolate from you and keeping it to themselves! Have a lovely weekend.

This morning, year three led our worship with a Christmas theme. They sang traditional and modern songs. We had dancing and musical instruments. It was truly amazing. The children were so confident and I am so proud of them all. 

Well done year three. 👍👍👍

Elf update - P6, by Mrs Platt

Date: 10th Dec 2015 @ 11:26am

Just when you thought it was safe to decorate the Christmas tree...

Class P6 have only just managed to get their elf under control and sort out the chaos that has descended since he arrived! Kristophe Sparklebum has been up to all sorts of mischief...messing up the classroom, hiding equipment,stealing Miss Ellis' secret sweet stash and even locking staff in the stockroom (poor Mrs Baron!) We have discovered that the reason for his bad behaviour was because Father Christmas sent him to check out some very naughty children last year and he has picked up some terrible habits. Fortunately, we have been setting a much better example and have been showing him the error of his ways by writing stories using flashback techniques. Hopefully peace and tranquility will be restored to year six in time for the Christmas party! 

A Special Message!, by Miss Wilkinson

Date: 10th Dec 2015 @ 10:16am

Look who sent us a special message this week, all the way from the North Pole!

Merry Christmas!, by Miss Wilkinson

Date: 10th Dec 2015 @ 9:45am

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our first blog! 

We recieved a special message all the way from the North Pole this week, who do you think it was from? Have a look and watch with your child. 

Then a special helper arrived.  He keeps hiding around our classrooms and school getting up to mischief.  Ask your child to tell you about our Elf.

We are busy practising for our Nativity.  Look out next week for us looking fabulous in our costumes!  Come and watch our performance on Wednesday 16th December at 9.30am.

Elf on the shelf, by Mr Everett

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! 

Elf mischief, by Mrs Atherton

Date: 9th Dec 2015 @ 2:33pm

The elves, in Y5, have been up to lots of mischief and have kept the children entertained. They have disorganised the pencil pots, been sticking 'selfies' around the classroom and turning up the most unexpected places.

On Monday there was great concern as the children discovered that the elves had lost their magic because they had been touched by human hands. After reasearching some Christmas films, the children decided to fill the elves with Christmas Spirit by creating a Christmas grotto and sending messages that they believe in elves to help the magic return. Thankfully, on Tuesday morning, the magic had been restored to the elves and little envelopes of Christmas jokes were left as a thank you by the elves. 

Thomas, by Mr Warner

Date: 9th Dec 2015 @ 2:04pm

During the Christmas Fayre Thomas in our class very did a very special thing for a great charity. He decided to have his hair cut for a wonderful charity. He was rasing money for Willowbrook Hospice. So far he raised over £200. 

When he walked into class on Monday not many pupils recognised him.

Well done Thomas, we are very proud of you.  

Cristingle, by Mr Warner

Date: 9th Dec 2015 @ 1:54pm

The children have been learning all about Jesus, the light of the world in their R.E. lessons. This week we made our own Cristingles and researched about the symbolism of each part we added. It was a lovely way to draw the topic to an end. 

Week with an Elf, by Mr Warner

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".

Whoops-a-daisy Angel came to Queen's Park this afternoon.  It was the first performance in front of the grown-ups and I am extremely proud of each and eveyone of our KS1 children.  They sang beautifully, they remembered all their words and spoke with such confidence.  One more performance to go!  Well done everyone 

Working with Andi Taylor , by Mrs Kellett
