Visit from Santa Claus, Christmas lunch and our Christmas Party.

Today we had a surprise visit from Santa Claus he dropped by to answer our questions. He had to park the reindeer at the farm as the car park was too full!


After Santa left we went to the hall for our first Christmas lunch.

We were all given Christmas hats by Neil the friendly Merekat. 😀

We had a lovely dinner and yummy pudding. Then we got to pull out crackers.

After lunch we had our class party. We played the snowman game. We had to dress

Our partners as snowmen! 

We played pin the carrot on the snowmen 

And Father Christmas Limbo!

we were still on the nice list but Miss Irwin did have to remind us to keep our listening ears on. Just as Miss Irwin said that …

Santa was calling her on the phone! He said how he had been watching and he was happy they were on the nice list. He did say they needed to check their listening ears though!  He has been happy with Class Jonah today and has really enjoyed their phonics blending for reading and the Nativity practise!Apparently Santa has been calling some Mummy and Daddy’s phones at home too!

Santa delivery!

This morning we went out to look at our Christmas Factory and Miss Kippen came from the office with a surprise!

Santa had sent us a parcel and a sack!

In the parcel we found large Santa sacks for the factory, 8 reindeer antlers, Christmas masks, some gold tinsel, a large Elf hat and magic snow!

We made snow by adding water to the powder it felt “gooey and slimy”!
