Festive Greetings everyone in the Hamstel community. We would like to welcome you to our second report of the year. First thing’s first, what a wonderful time of year and before we tell you what we’ve been doing during this half term, we would like to say Merry Christmas to everyone!

In this report, we will tell you what we have been up to at school. We have had lots of fun activities and lots of conversations about this festive period. During December, these fun activities have included the Christmas Fair, the Enzo the elf visit, The Nutcracker ballet performance, the Reception nativity performance, the Year 2 Christingle and we still have the Christmas film and party to look forward to.

In our meetings, we came together as a team and chose some questions for our interviews and decided on the pictures that we wanted to include.

We interviewed lots of teachers and our friends. Here is what they said:

Savannah: Are you excited about Christmas and why?

Mrs Tracy: Of course I am excited for Christmas because I love spending time with my family.

Thomas: Are you excited about Christmas and why?

Mrs Bryant: I am so excited. I’m really excited because we will have the break and I will be with my family.

Dolleigh: Do you celebrate Christmas and if you do, do you like it?

Miss Goodman: I absolutely do celebrate Christmas and I like it a lot because we get to do so many fun activities and also, we get a nice little break.

Evelyn: What do you like about Christmas and why?

Miss Iruskieta: I love the fact that most people are so happy around Christmas time and it is a lovely time to think about other people and how lucky we all are.

Dylan: What do you not like eating at Christmas and why?

Mr Roche: I don’t like Brussel Sprouts. I like the other vegetables. I don’t know why I don’t like them though.

Eli: My favourite part was doing the actions.

Dylan: What Christmas food do you not like and why?

Sonny: Brussel sprouts because I don’t like the skin on the outside.
