KS1 Christmas party

Ready to party

Hargreaves, Butterworth and Potter have had a fun filled day.  The first excitement was having a non-uniform day and being allowed to wear party clothes to school.

 

This was followed by a morning of Christmas activities. Snowflakes, glitter, maths problems, elf games, mazes, cake and biscuit decorating and even watching part of a film all took place, along with much colouring, cutting and sticking.

Cake, biscuit and some fruit

The fact it rained relentlessly, all day, did not dampen the party spirit and so as soon as lunchtime was over the children, and staff, congregated in the hall for a very noisy session of games. Santa says, musical statues, corners, hot potato and lots of dancing took place and the Christmas music was enjoyed by all (thank you Mrs Deadman).

 

Back in the classroom the children enjoyed their snack of biscuit and cake, washed down with juice and then all 3 classes had a surprise. Mrs Short informed us that a jolly fellow in a red suit and black boots had dropped off a package for each class. Sadly he could not stay, due to this being his busiest time of year, and he was sorry if the letters had got a little bit wet.....

The children were delighted to receive replies to the letters that we sent at the beginning of the week to Father Christmas; his elves had taken the time to read each and every one out to him and had replied on his behalf.
