A Gift of Reading from Rodger! Today, Rodger the Elf was found tucked away on a bookshelf with an important book: The Best Christmas Present in the World by Michael Morpurgo. This is a wonderful story that reminds us of the power of hope and peace during the festive season. Rodger is doing a fantastic job encouraging all the children at Beaminster St Mary's Academy to explore different kinds of Christmas stories! Keep your eyes open for Rodger's next reading recommendation! #RodgerTheElf #MichaelMorpurgo #ChristmasReads #BeaminsterStMarysAcademy #ReadingInspiration Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust

Elvis the Artist! Guess who spent the night working on their masterpiece? The Seahorse Class found Elvis the Elf nestled among the paint pots and brushes this morning! He was clearly trying his hand at some painting and left us a beautiful, earthy-toned Tree! Maybe he's trying to give us decorating inspiration! Even better, he put his name on his picture: ELF! We think he's definitely ready for Art class. We're going to hang his artwork up for everyone to see! #ElvisTheElf #ElfMischief #ClassroomArt #PaintingFun #SeahorseClass #ElfOnTheShelf #GetCreative Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust

All Aboard The Reading Express! Our reading champion, Rodger the Elf, has made his move again! Today, he was found next to the classic Christmas tale, The Polar Express, ready to take someone on a magical journey to the North Pole. Rodger is reminding everyone at Beaminster St Mary's Academy to believe in the magic of books this December! Who will be the lucky one to spot Rodger and pick up this exciting read? Keep hunting and keep reading! #RodgerTheElf #ThePolarExpress #BeaminsterStMarysAcademy #ReadingAdventure #ChristmasClassics

The Star of the Show! Look who found the best seat in the Seahorse Class this morning! Elvis the Elf woke up feeling like a true Christmas decoration and decided to perch right on top of our new classroom Christmas tree! He's definitely testing out the view from the top and making sure every branch is ready for festive cheer. Maybe he's giving us a hint that it's time to get this tree decorated! The Seahorse Class is so excited for the holidays to officially begin! #ElvisTheElf #ElfOnTheTree #ChristmasTree #ClassroomDecor #SeahorseClass #ElfOnTheShelf #FestiveFun Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust

Rodger the Elf in Octopus Class! Our very busy Rodger the Elf was spotted in Octopus Class today, hiding behind his newest book: The Night I Met Father Christmas by Ben Miller! It looks like Rodger is encouraging everyone to curl up with a truly festive blockbuster this week. Who knows where Rodger and his next exciting Christmas read will pop up tomorrow? Keep reading, everyone! #RodgerTheElf #OctopusClass #BeaminsterStMarysAcademy #BenMiller #TheNightIMetFatherChristmas

A Blizzard in Seahorse Class! Look who we caught red-handed this morning! It seems Elvis the Elf decided to create a winter wonderland overnight, but he definitely needs to work on his tidying-up skills! The children found Elvis surrounded by paper scraps, scissors still in hand, after attempting to make some beautiful paper snowflakes for our classroom. He must be getting us ready for the snow! We might have to remind him that the Seahorse Class rule is to always put away the scissors when you're done! What do you think he'll try to decorate next? #ElvisTheElf #ElfMischief #PaperSnowflakes #WinterCrafts #ClassroomFun #SeahorseClass #ElfOnTheShelf Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust
