This month, our reception classrooms @FP were filled with extra magic and excitement when Buddy the Elf made a surprise visit! As many of you know, Buddy is famous for his festive spirit and mischievous ways, and he certainly didn’t disappoint!

True to form, Buddy caused a little bit of chaos in the classroom. He knocked over some books, rearranged our supplies, and left a trail of glitter and candy cane wrappers everywhere! The children couldn’t stop giggling as they discovered the mess and tried to figure out what Buddy had been up to while we weren’t looking.

But the real magic happened after Buddy’s naughty antics. The children were so inspired by his visit that they couldn’t wait to write about it! They eagerly started crafting their own stories about Buddy’s adventures, from his playful tricks to wild winter wonderlands. The creativity was flowing, and it was wonderful to see how Buddy’s mischievous visit turned into a fantastic writing opportunity.

I’ve been amazed at the enthusiasm and imagination the children have shown. It’s been such a joy to watch them write and share their stories, each one unique and filled with creativity. What started as a fun-filled visit from Buddy has turned into an exciting writing journey, and I couldn’t be prouder of their work.

Buddy’s visit has truly been a highlight of our holiday season, inspiring the children to write, imagine, and dream. I can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them next!

Happy holidays from our class, and thank you, Buddy, for the inspiration!
