Christmas Hamper

Prior to Christmas, Jamie's school had a Christmas Jumper / Funny Hair Day, See: http://grumpymumtobe.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/christmas-jumper-funny-hair-day.html

As part of this, children were asked to contribute something to the class hamper in exchange for not wearing school uniform.  Jamie took a box of Roses.  The hampers were then made up with all the donations, and were given as prizes in the Christmas raffle; in aid of the Friends of The School.

The raffle prizes were drawn the day before the last day of the Christmas term, during a carol concert that was held in the Key Stage 2 playground.  It was also the day that Santa came and Jamie was really pleased with his present; a History Quest Book.  Jamie and I stayed for an hour or so; singing carols, but it was very cold and there weren't any of Jamie's friends there, so we left.

A couple of days into the term and there is a message on my mobile phone to say can I ring the school - which is always worrying.  Luckily it was to tell me I had won a raffle prize!  I am not sure which class the hamper came from.  It wasn't Jamie's class.  But it was a lovely surprise.  Only trouble is, we are all overweight after Christmas and I could really have done with the prize before Christmas.  Oh well, diet starts after the birthdays.....

Santa has been on his travels...

Went to pick up all the pottery that we had painted just over a week after going to The Little Pottery Studio, see: http://grumpymumtobe.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/christmas-pottery.html.  When I got there however, I was told that Jamie's Santa wasn't there.  Apparently, he had been given to another family as he looked almost identical to theirs.

Once he was (finally) returned, we found out that he had travelled to Ireland and back!  Unfortunately he only got home in time to be put in the loft with the rest of the Christmas decorations.  It will be a surprise for him; and the rest of us, when he comes out for Christmas 2017!!

We did get a £10 voucher off our next visit though.
