We couldn’t guess his name so look at the chaos he caused!

3H have been trying to guess the name of their class elf for the last few weeks. They were convinced it was Haycock Junior as he tormented them as much as I do but unfortunately they failed in their guess, so he caused pure destruction on the final day of term. He did find a moment of niceness though when he stuffed our fake grenades with yummy chocolate…thank you Icerink and well done to Sienna for working out where he had hidden the chocolate from the clues he left us!

We hope to see Icerink and his army of elves, who kept multiplying during the final day, next year. We wonder if he could go back to elf school though because his spelling is absolutely atrocious and we would love to know how one elf became two, then three and finally four…our minds were blown and the excitement kept building!

Have a wonderful break everyone, you deserve it! Keep safe, be happy and have fun! I look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in 2025!

We hope you all have a wonderful two weeks rest and for those who celebrate it, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas too!

Making Christmas Decorations

This week the children have made some festive Christmas decorations for their own Christmas trees! They’ve used their painting skills, cutting skills, glueing skills and creative skills. #LovePlover

Celebration of Learning

After a busy term of learning, the children in 2L enjoyed sharing their learning with parents and carers last week. The children were the experts, teaching their grown ups all about our expedition, Rags to Riches, What Lies Within the Castle Walls? The children and parents did a quiz and then built catapults before testing them out.

We’d like to thank all the parents and carers who joined us for our celebration of learning and we look forward to having you back to join us for our next celebration of learning.
