There was a knock on the door late last night - much too late for the postman or a visitor. It turned out to be the next door neighbour - a tiny little woman, who was struggling under the weight of a large package with my name on it that had been left on her doorstep.

Inside it - the wonders! Santa, I cannot believe your generosity. You spent more than the suggested amount just on the postage, and the goodies you have sent us are no mere trifles.

Our Santa sent:

- a roll of clear contact and 100 laminating sleeves. I make a lot of resources for the class and I go through these two staples very quickly. I'll be able to make some great new activities now!

- two big packs of pencils and a big pack of textas. So many colours! I have a lot of budding artists in my group, and these will really help bring their artworks to life.

- glue sticks and erasers. You have no idea how quickly we go through glue sticks. We are all out at the moment, so they couldn't have come at a better time.

- two MASSIVE packs of coloured paper! The things we can make with these!!!

I took all the goodies with me to school this morning, and the kids couldn't wait to get stuck into them. I hope you like the pictures they've drawn for you. THANK YOU SO MUCH SANTA!!!
