Santa Speaks!

On Monday we looked at Miss Walters' email and we found that Sugarplum Mary (one of Santa Claus' elves) and Santa Claus had emailed us. Santa had emailed us from the North Pole! We felt excited and cheerful. 

We read the email from Sugarplum Mary and she told us that she was going to try and get Santa to come to our classroom one night. We had to write an email back to Santa and Sugarplum Mary to persuade Santa to come and visit us before Christmas!

Here is what we wrote:

Dear Santa,

How are you, Mrs Claus, the elves and the reindeer doing? 

Please can you come to Room Six at Ruapotaka School in New Zealand? Sugarplum Mary told us that you are free on Tuesday night. When you come can you please bring a photo of Sugarplum Mary and the Reindeers, (especially Rudolf)?

If you and Sugarplum Mary come to Ruapotaka School to Room Six there will be a surprise for both of you on Tuesday night. We will leave you chocolate chip cookies because we know they are your favourite! We will also leave you a can of lemonade.

Santa, when you come to Room 6 look out for our present for you under the tree! We want you to come so that you can see our decorations. We've made a paper chain, Christmas stockings, decorated a tree and some snowflakes. We've also written Christmas poems and letters and they are on the wall. 

You should visit us on Tuesday night because most of the children in Room Six have been very good all year! It would make us feel very happy and special if you visited us. You should also practice flying the sleigh before Christmas Eve so that you are prepared!

Pretty pretty please with cream and cherries on top come and visit us!

Merry Christmas from Room Six and Miss Walters

:)

And this is the reply we got!

Dear Room Six and Miss Walters,

Hohoho! Merry Christmas! Thank you for your lovely email! I see you've been having a good chat with Sugarplum Mary? I actually have dinner plans with Mrs Claus for her birthday on Tuesday night so I can't come and visit you on Tuesday, but how about Wednesday night? I will try my best to get a photo of everyone for you, but remember I am very busy this time of year!

OOOOOH! Chocolate chip cookies? My favourite! It's been quite a few days since I've eaten a cookie and that makes me sad! Sugarplum Mary told me that there are none left in the whole of the North Pole! But a chocolate chip cookie is worth the trip! I look forward to seeing your Christmas decorations! I hope that you are feeling excited and festive but still being good and working hard!

I shall visit you on Wednesday night all being well, how about that? 

Let me know! Ho ho ho!

Santa

Today we have to organise a little present from us and the cookies and lemonade! We're going to make a card and photo frame with a lovely picture of us!
