Breakfast with Santa

Today has been filled with Christmas merriment.

Our breakfast at the farm was delicious and out meeting with Santa was magical. We all got to have some quality time to tell him our names and what we wanted for Christmas before he gave us a present.

Then we decorated our gingerbread men, went on a tractor ride and fed the animals. Mrs Riley took lots of photos of us all. They will be going on the school website very soon.

Here’s a few snaps of our fun morning.

   
    
    
    
   
In the afternoon we spent time creating Christmas pictures, snowflakes, Christmas paper chains and Christmas paper aeroplanes while listening to Christmas songs. It really has been a magical day. 

Santa Camera has arrived 🎄🎅🏻

  
It arrived on Tuesday via special delivery. 

When we opened the box we found the camera, a letter, poster and smelly candle. The letter said he wanted to watch us to see if we were behaving. If the red light is flashing he is watching us. 

Miss Irwin put the camera up so Santa can see us all around the classroom.

Miss Irwin has also been checking if we are on the naughty or nice list on the APP Santa gave her. It scans your finger print. 

   
   

After playtime we started to decorate the classroom. Look at our wonderful tree!
