Christmas has officially arrived in Ms Clare’s class with lots of different Christmas crafts being created and Christmas carols being sung!
One of the may Christmas crafts that we have created in recent days, are these mischievous elves on the shelf!
The children followed a step-by-step instruction video together as a whole class before beautifully decorating and colouring their drawings.
The children really enjoyed completing these and were allowed to bring them home that same day! Didn’t they turn out great?!
4 th class have spent the year in St Mary’s Hall. They thought it a good idea to find out a little bit more about this important building in our parish and to share what they learned with their school mates.
