Year 1, Week 5

We arrived at the shelter to rainbow cards hanging all around.

The children predicted they were from the elves and they were right.

We went exploring the school and grounds to look for clues and evidence that their friends had visited.

“The kindness elves have come to the shelter!”

“Wow, they’re from the kindness elves! Let’s read them!”

Rosanna: I’ve been kind to my friends, I helped my friend when she fell over.

“My sister was sad so I wrote her a nice letter”

“I helped my sister find her toys”

Owen: I had a cheeky elf at home and he wrapped me up for two weeks!

Layla: You know they could have a large sycamore leaf as a rug. This stump looks like something the elves might travel on and maybe they magic it so they can travel on it and all three of them can have a ride.

Amelia’s grandmother kindly gave each member of class a golf ball on a lid and the children decorated them for Christmas.

We learned more about how litter affects animals and how we can use our imaginations to think of fun ways to recycle objects.

Some children also chose to make a little nocturnal hoglet, using woodland treasures, including pine needles for spines and a pine cone for the snout.
