After a very emotional morning saying some goodbyes in our farewell assemblies to Mr Youson and Mrs Senyk, we soon got back into the festive spirit with some good old-fashioned Christmas games!
We started the afternoon with some yummy hot chocolate and some popcorn in our PJs, before the competitive games began.
First, we took part in our Secret Santa with a twist! Every child had bought a present and wrapped it well. These were given out randomly before each child then had the option to stick with the one they were given or swap with someone else – even if the other child did not want to swap! It was clear after a while that children went for quantity over quality and were after the biggest presents they could get their hands on!
Thank you to everyone for taking part in this – it was great fun and lovely to see the variety of things made/bought with a maximum budget of £3!
Then came the VERY competitive oven mitt and dice game! We had one present in the midde (wrapped in several layers!) and children had to try to unwrap the present one layer at a time. They only had the time it took the next person to roll a 6 on their dice before they took over the unwrapping. I think it’s very fair to say the classroom soon got very noisy, the children got very competitive and the floor ended up in a complete mess! Well done to Erin (the Christmas birthday girl herself!) for winning the final prize!
We tried to get our last ever selfie with Mr You before creating our very own replacement!
We would like to thank parents and children for their kindness and for their generous Christmas cards and gifts. We wish you all a very happy and holy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas Eve mass.
