Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my beautiful children in PP2 and their families.

Mrs Westcott and I would like to thank you for all our wonderful gifts and the very beautiful flowers! We were very spoilt! I am busy eating chocolates and very nice they have been. I know Christmas is a time of sharing so I guess I had better leave some for my family. OOOPs nice idea…but I seem to have just eaten the last one!!!!!!!!

Well guess this is it…… my last entry for this year..its been a fun year and I’ m very thankful for the beautiful class I had, children and parents! We were the best!!

I miss you all already!    (and I really mean it!!)

Not long now till Santa arrives!! Have a great one,

Love Mrs Thieme

Our Christmas Concert!

Rehearsals were fun. On the last rehearsal Mrs Thieme said she would watch us and not do any of the moves herself. But she just couldn’t help it. She had to join in.

Not everything went according to plan during rehearsal. Sometimes our stars would fall off and go flying!. Sometimes they would be knocked off by an enthusiastic hand being flung high into the air.

When we sang “Must be Santa” we had to remember what props to hold up. Some of us got a little confused as to what we we were holding. At one point two of the boys  ( no names mentioned!)decided to use their props as swords and start a sword fight.

We had to remember to sing and smile and above all no nose picking!!!!

We did look so cute on the day!!

And we did a fabulous job!!!!!

The Night Before Christmas!

Here is Mrs Thieme’s version of ‘The night before Christmas!”

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

There was absolute chaos, just pity the poor mouse.

The stockings were lost and could not be found

Mum swore as she searched around and around.

The children were fighting about not going to bed

One gave his sister a bump on the head,

Granddad was plastered, the baby was sick

The dog was giving the turkey a lick.

When out in the garden we heard a gruff shout

It was a male voice, to be sure, without doubt.

We all rushed to the window as if in a race

We ran over Grandma in all of the haste.

We could not see much, as the rain it fell loud

And the moon was well hidden behind a dark cloud

Then suddenly there in front of our eyes,

Sat a small fat man in a red cloak disguise.

With a beer in his hand and dribble down his jaws

We knew in a jiffy, it must be Santa Claus.

He sat in a puddle all sad and forlorn

His beard had come off and lay on the lawn

He started to say something as he clutched at the fence

But his words slurred together and did not make sense.

Beside him on the grass lay a big sort of sack

It did not look the type to go on Santa’s back.

We watched as he grabbed it but he was too slow

He spewed all his guts into the roses below.

Dad gripped the curtains, this was too much to bear

When he thought of his roses, the work and the care.

He shouted out “Hey you, Can’t you behave?”

Then Santa looked up and gave him a  wave.

He lurched slightly forward, brought himself upright

And began a rendition of  Silent Night.

It was a new version that we had not heard.

But Santa, he seemed to know every rude word.

Mum clapped her hands over her ears with dismay

Grandma was giggling and chuckling away.

Then Santa stopped to have a swig of his beer

And started to call out the names of all his reindeer.

From out of the darkness, some footsteps were heard

Then silently and with hardly  a word

Two policemen arrived and without a sound

They soon had Santa pinned to the ground.

So off he was carted straight to the cells

Now merrily singing Jingle Bells

And he gave a big burp as he stumbled out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

Our Sports Day!

     

We had a lot of fun with our sports races today. The weather was really warm and all of the races involved water!!! First we had a relay race balancing a water bomb on a spoon. We had to be careful not to drop it!! Another race involved pegging the washing on the line. We had to run to a tub of wet clothes , take one item out, peg it up and run back so the next person could go!! At first William, Joshua and Mitchel did not want to take part! Pegging up washing was just not their thing!

But then Mrs Thieme told us that the pegging up of the washing was really just a small part of the race. what was needed was the speed, the fast legs to get to the washing line.

On hearing this, those 3 boys decided to join in!!!!!!!!!     

Mrs Thieme thought it was funny how some were so good at pegging, and others did not really know what a peg was!!!!!!!!!!  

Even more Funny Comments!

 

Out in the playground Georgia came up to Mrs Thieme and said “look at my arm. Lachlan hurt me!’

Mrs Thieme asked her how it had happened!

“Well he was talking too much and it made me not concentrate on where I was going!”
