Our Elf: Jingle-Jeff!

We had a very exciting parcel delivery on Wednesday. Jingle-Jeff our elf arrived from the North Pole! When we opened the box we found a note from Santa telling us how to look after our elf, a letter from Santa for each student and a book 'The Elf on the Shelf' but no elf.

When we read the note from Santa we realised that Jingle-Jeff had been in class the whole time! 

He had been watching to see who was being naughty and nice 👀

Here are some photos of our special delivery.
