Get Fit and Elfie!

Get Fit and Elfie Class 1P Assembly

‘Get Fit and Elfie' is our assembly theme. We are supporting Brian House Children’s Hospice with donations from our Elf Run events. A representative from Brian House will be coming to share in our assembly on Wednesday 6th December and receive our school donations. 

Parents are invited to our assembly on Wednesday 6th December at 2:45pm. 


Dress code for the Elf Run on Friday 1st December: 
Children can wear elf/ Christmas headwear (handmade or purchased) and their school uniform.

Dress for the Assembly: Your child will be receiving their part, stapled into their reading diary and this will explain what they can wear for the assembly. 

Song lyrics to learn:

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

Jingle Bells
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!


Our Trip to Blackpool Zoo




At the Big Cat House



"When is it lunchtime?"

"Does my hand look big in this?"


Catching up with the meerkats. 




Brazilian Tapirs strut their stuff for 
the toothless onlookers.




"Hello sea lions!"

Our visit to the Education Centre


This is what a caiman's skin feels like. 
Which animal did this come from? 


We have learnt some interesting facts about 
the feathers of peacocks. Did you know the more 'eye feathers' the male pea fowl have, the more female pea hens they attract?  


This is the pelt of an arctic fox in the summer. 
Which colour does the fur change to in the winter? 


Which animal has this very long shin bone come from? 
(Clue: the animal has a very long neck too).


Here is an animal which is originally from Australia. It's called a blue-tongued skink and his name is 'Tony'. 


Tony is the oldest reptile at Blackpool Zoo and he is a teenager. Tony is seventeen years old! 
(Almost as old as Mrs Page).


Safely behind the glass is the South American Caiman. 
What does it eat? 


Can you spot which animal is in this photo? 
Is it camouflaged? 


Hmm... what did we find in this tank? 


Meet the Axolotl, also known as the Mexican Salamander with the nickname 'Peter Pan'. 

Axolotls are able to grow limbs even after they have broken off. This makes them masters of regeneration


At the Gorilla House



Hanging out with the orangutans. 


It was a super visit to the zoo. 
We're sure that all the children and grown ups will be sleeping well tonight!
