Merry Christmas from The Goblin Next Door and all in Room 5

We had a fabulous time rehearsing and performing our Christmas play 'The Goblin Next Door'. We shared costumes and props with each other. Thank you parents for your help. Take a look in the sections below at some of the work behind the scenes.

See the entire cast, then the groups - 'Fantastic Fairies', 'Perfect Pixies' 'Clever Creatures' and good gracious 'Goblins'!

Eventually faces were painted,  and it was the moment we had been waiting for - lights, camera, action!

Did you notice all kinds of trees in Bushypark Fairy Dell?

The trees and mushrooms required considerable patience and collaboration.

The dance moves started during busy breaks in class.

A lot of our Christmas play work was integrated with SESE.

More art work ... We worked in our groups - Fairies, Pixies, Creatures and Goblins. We made lovely candle holders for the Christmas dinner table using our woodland theme. We put our names on the discs, cut out snowflakes, put the candles in place and then attached pine cones, holly, 'marshmallow mushrooms' and Christmas gift tags.

We also did a lot of literacy work as we worked in Bushypark Fairy Dell.

Of course, 'all's well that ends well' - letters written to Santa and he came by to see us before we took our Christmas break.
