Year 5 have had two unexpected visitors.
The elves have been given names in each class: Zoomer and Edgar.

Elf on a Shelf, by Miss McCormack
Date: 1st Dec 2015 @ 7:43pm
This morning we came into school and found some more photographs of the elf but this time he had been in our classroom!
The cheeky, little elf had been in Scarlett's bag, Yasmin's tray and had been drinking Miss McCormack's drink! So, we decided to write a letter to Father Christmas to tell him all about our naughty elf, we also asked him to help us by having a little chat with the elf to find out why he's being such a trouble maker!
Hopefully we will hear something back soon!

Christmas comes to QP!!, by Miss Glover
Date: 30th Nov 2015 @ 7:58pm
WOW- What an exciting, special day!
This morning KS1 watched a special video message, all the way from the North Pole! It was Santa and he told us that he has sent an Elf to keep an eye on children in our school. After the video message Year One found an Elf in the corridor surrounded with glitter.
With the Elf we found a book called ...The Elf on the Shelf. We read the book and then an Elf appeared in the corridor!
Shortly after this, Mrs Kellett found some strange pictures of the Elf on her CCTV, the Elf was up to mischief at the weekeed!
We will keep you posted this week and show you all our work on this mystery Elf.
How exciting!!!!!!!
Elf on a Shelf, by Miss McCormack

Today was a very exciting day at Queen's Park...
When Mr Westhead and I arrived this morning, we found a mysterious brown envelope addressed to P3 by the door. We decided to keep the envelope sealed until everybody came back from assembly and when we opened it we found a letter from Father Christmas!
But, that is not all that we found...
We also discovered that there were some photographs inside which showed one of Father Christmas' elves in different places, he was even out on a date with Barbie!
Throughout the day we thought of lots of questions about the elf, can he see us? What is he doing here? How did he get here?
We also found out that Q3 got the same letter AND an elf was spotted by some of our children at lunch time!
Keep checking our blog through the week to see if we get any more letter or clues. Maybe the elf will even make an apperance...

Over the next two weeks, every class in school will be visited by their own Elf on the Shelf. The Elf will be getting up to lots of mischief to inspire writing. The block of work will end with a celebration day on 11th December. Each child is invited to come dressed as an elf. If you haven't got an elf costume, anything Christmas themed will be fine!
Please ask your child to tell you what the Elf has been up to every day over the next two weeks!
Whole school Worship , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 26th Nov 2015 @ 10:43pm
Our worship today was all about Nehemiah from the Old Testament. We learned all about menders and makers or benders and breakers. The story helped the children to understand that we all have the ability to make things and be creative. Nehemiah showed courage and determination to complete his task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and we talked about with a little effort, we can achieve almost anything.
The children as usual sang beautifully

The children enjoyed whole school worship today which was based around one of our school values - love.

French penpals, by Mrs Taylor
Date: 19th Nov 2015 @ 7:48pm
We are being super organised (just in case of postal hold-ups) and have written Christmas cards with a St Helens touch to our penpals who live in Ascain near the Pyrenees. Some children decided to draw The Dream with a Christmas 'feel' and we included photos of St. Helens landmarks. Hopefully our French friends will reply with news of their hometown.
