• Elf day

  Mon 18 Dec 2017
  On Monday 18th December we held our annual Elf day!  This is a great chance for children to work with different teachers completing a range of exciting and creative tasks.  There was biscuit decorating, painting, card making, snowflake making, elf coding, science experiments, treasure hunts and much much more.  The children moved around in their class groups and visited at least 3 different teachers.  (Even more if you were in Years 4-6!)  A big thank you to all of the children for getting involved, the parents for supplying many an elf costume and the staff for planning and organising such a great range of activities today.  

  

• Year 1, Reception and Nursery Nativity

  Thu 14 Dec 2017

  It always feel like the festive season has begun when the youngest children in the school perform the Nativity for everyone.  This year was no different and the hall was filled with the sound of children's singing and laughter.  The Year 1 children with the acting parts used huge voices which meant we could hear every word.  Cesar had the loudest voice as he proclaimed "I am the boss of you!"

  A big thank you to the children for performing, the parents for finding costumes and all the staff for pulling together a truly amazing show.  

  

• Festival of lights

  Thu 14 Dec 2017

  Year 4 and 5 treated us to an amazing show about light this year.  They have looked at lots of festivals that happen at this time of year all with a central theme of light.  They talked to us about Diwali, Wesak, Eid, Hanukkah and Christmas.  We learnt the story of Rama and Sita, a song about a dreidel and even a song in Hebrew.  The show incorporated a range of beautiful songs including a Christmas rap that got everyone clapping along and finished with a rendition of I wish it could be Christmas every day.

  A big thank you to the staff and the children for all of their hard work putting this together.

   

  

• The Globe Players come to Elfrida

  Mon 11 Dec 2017

  On Monday 11th December we welcomed The Globe Players to school to put on a performance of Sleeping Beauty for children from Nursery to Year 2.  The children had a fantastic time, joining in with the story, helping the actors find each other and enjoying the hilarity!  With cries of "He's behind you!" we felt that the festive season had really begun!  Thank you to all of the parents and carers who have bought nativity play tickets for £1 this year, this along with money raised from cauliflower cards, helped us to provide this opportunity for the children.  

  

• The Winter Fair

  Sat 09 Dec 2017

  On Friday 8th December, we held our annual winter fair.  As ever there were lots of people who came to support the school.  Cakes were eaten, faces painted, Santa visited and the raffle was drawn!  A huge attraction was the opportunity to stick Mr McNulty to the wall! For the minimal price of £1, you could buy 2 strips of duct tape, which were then used to attach Mr McNulty to the wall.  We are not sure who paid the most money - staff or children!  

  To see the moment when we took away the supporting chair click here!

  Did we take him down?....  You'll have to pop into the hall and find out!  A big thank you to the PTFA for all of their organisation and the staff for helping out.
