Inspired by one of our children bringing in a pair of slippers, we decided to pursue the children's interests in shoes and footwear and make our story this week; The Elves and the Shoemaker. We have not only created a Shop Shop in class but we have been role playing as the characters and creating outfits for the elves. We are starting to think about the upcoming festive season and expect there may be lots of elves visiting the children's homes through out December.
