Last week was super exciting in school with the highlight for some of our tamariki being the disco and our newest member in class - the Elf on the shelf. We are waiting for there to be an answer to the question of whether it is a boy or a girl. I just hope that he or she has better manners than my previous Elf visitors have had!


In Room 16 we put up our Christmas tree and are busy making decorations to decorate it with a personal touch.  We explored what the time of Advent means and the significance of the wreath and candles as we eagerly anticipate celebrating the birth of Jesus.
