We had been talking a lot about our plans for the Christmas break and what might be different this year compared to last year. We discussed how some people who might be isolating or keeping themselves safe and might not have a lot of visitors this Christmas. With the help of Ms Gilligan and Ms Brown we made a hamper and had it delivered to our local nursing home to try bring some Christmas Cheer to those who might not have it. We wrote cards and decorated them with lovely bright Christmas pictures to hopefully send some smiles to our wider community. We included wool and knitting needles, puzzle books, toiletries, chocolates, sweets, biscuits, candy canes and Christmas crackers! The boys and girls were really proud of their efforts to be thoughtful and spread some kindness. 

We were so lucky this year, even with Covid19 we were able to get a post box that delivered our Santa Letters directly to the North Pole. There was a lot of time and effort that went into our letters and we took some time to remind Santa what we had asked for already. We wrote them on parchment paper and stuck lots of lovely sparkles on the outside. We double and triple checked we all had the correct address on them and tied a big red bow around our letters to keep them safe and for Santa's eyes only. As you can see there were lots of excited boys and girls in Room 12!

We had a very deserving pupil for the award this month! There has been a huge effort made by this student each and every day to do his best, believe in himself and put in the hard work. This great determination, resilience and perseverance was commented on by his peers, teachers and even Ms Mc Nulty too. There were huge celebrations in Room 12 when his name was called and we are all so impressed by what you have achieved this month MJ! Well done and keep up the great work!
