Buddy the magic elf

Santa sent a letter a couple of weeks ago telling us about Buddy the elf. He came to stay for a couple of weeks. Santa did warn us that Buddy was mischievous, little did we know just how cheeky he would be!!

He's been dancing with the wooden man, dangling from the wishing tree, pretending to be a Christmas star, squashed in a glass and yesterday he opened one of the presents under the tree!!!

Thank you for the lovely cards, presents and well wishes. Have a wonderful Christmas and we will see you all in 2014.

Party day

Thank you for your donations of food for our party. Here is a collage of the children today.

Christingles

This week we have been making Christingles in class. 
We learnt how to make a Christingle and the meaning behind all the different parts of it. 

We had to get an orange - this represents the world.
Next we put red tape all around the orange - this represents Jesus' love going all around the world.
We then placed a candle in the top of the orange - this represents Jesus as the light of the world.
Then we carefully placed 4 cocktail sticks around the orange - these are for the 4 seasons.
Finally we placed sweet dried fruits and sweets onto the cocktail sticks - these represent the good things that God gives us.

It was quite tricky to make and involved us using a range of fine motor skills but we were very pleased with our results. Have a look at our slideshow showing some of us making the Christingles and some of the finished results.
