Guess who’s coming to tea? Special guest
SANTA SPECIAL The Friends of Abbey ran our ‘annual Tea with Santa’ event last week, where our FS2, Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed meeting and having their tea with Santa. The hall was alive with very excited children (and staff), as teams battled against one another to win the Christmas quiz and then entertained the special visitor, with their amazing Christmas songs. The Rainbow Room housed a wonderful grotto for Santa to rest, while each child visited him and received a gift. He is now looking forward to returning to Abbey on Friday 15th for our Christmas Fayre! SEEN BUT NOT HEARD Year 1 stepped back in time to become Victorian school children for the day. The classrooms were transformed and the children sat in rows, with boys and girls separated. Their hands were checked for dirt; talking was forbidden and the day began with lessons on reading, writing and arithmetic. The teachers were very strict! In the afternoon the children mixed dried fruit with honey to make their very own Victorian sugar plums. They were delicious! The children also practised their Victorian handwriting and made their own Christmas decorations, just like many Victorians did. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day but I think the children will be glad to have their usual teachers back. Thanks to Mrs. Day for the story. Thanks to Mrs. Chance.
