0:51:45 > 0:51:48Good morning!
0:51:49 > 0:51:51What lovely hats!
0:51:51 > 0:51:53They've got ears.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59Christmas time is very busy at Lowick School.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01There is a box about that big.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05It is a postbox, Charlotte, but what's it got in it?
0:52:05 > 0:52:08- Christmas letters. - All the Christmas cards.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12Mrs Vanson has got a special job for Mitchell and his friends.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Sort them out and deliver them. Are you up for that?
0:52:15 > 0:52:17- Yes.- Fantastic. What about you?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Yes.- Brilliant. Ryan?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24- What's in that big box?- Is it heavy? - Uh-huh.- OK.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27- Open it up, Finn. ALL:- Whoa!
0:52:27 > 0:52:32Christmas cards! They have to be sorted into different piles.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34This will take all day long!
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Finding out who the cards belong to is good reading practice.
0:52:43 > 0:52:50- M-A-S...- No, Fieldhouse. Mrs Fieldhouse.
0:52:50 > 0:52:58- A!- A, so we say J-A-M-E... What's this letter?- S!- S.
0:52:58 > 0:53:03- J-ame-s. James. So, he's in year... - Four!
0:53:03 > 0:53:06So he goes on the table over there.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13I wonder who this one is for.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Who do you think that's for?
0:53:17 > 0:53:21M-I-T...
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- Who do you think it is?- Me. - Yes, it is.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33The cards have been sorted and they're ready to be delivered.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44- There you are.- Thank you.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48- Who do you think that is? - I don't know.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- Which Libby is it?- You?- Yes.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55Everyone has some Christmas cards and don't they look happy!
0:54:00 > 0:54:04The whole school is gathered in the playground.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07They're waiting for a big surprise.
0:54:07 > 0:54:11How exciting!
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Wow! Just look who Pandra has brought with her!
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Reindeer!
0:54:23 > 0:54:25The reindeer are staying at Pandra's farm
0:54:25 > 0:54:28and Fiona, who looks after them,
0:54:28 > 0:54:30has brought them to meet the children.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Here's Hamish. The little one is called Blue.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37- He's just six months.- The baby reindeer is almost as big as Pandra!
0:54:37 > 0:54:42Has anybody got any questions they would like to ask? Jonathan.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45What's the fluffy stuff on their antlers?
0:54:45 > 0:54:49That's a good question. The stuff on their antlers is called velvet.
0:54:49 > 0:54:53While the antlers are growing, this fluffy stuff protects the bone
0:54:53 > 0:54:55which is growing underneath because
0:54:55 > 0:54:59these aren't actually called horns, reindeer have antlers.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03These are going to fall off. They'll grow again next year.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07- That happens every single year. - Charlie, what's your question?
0:55:07 > 0:55:12- Reindeers are special.- They are. They're very special.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15And what's a special time of year for them?
0:55:15 > 0:55:18- ALL:- Christmas!
0:55:21 > 0:55:23I think they want their breakfast.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25I'm going to leave this here.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28I'll give Jill that one.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32Look at the reindeer!
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Pandra helps feed the reindeer.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38Watch you don't get nibbled!
0:55:38 > 0:55:39Yeah!
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Pandra, you tell Isaac why they can't bite you.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47Because they've just got bottom teeth.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53It looks like the reindeer are really hungry.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55But what are they eating?
0:55:55 > 0:55:58It's a special reindeer food called lichen.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Inside the school,
0:56:06 > 0:56:10the children and Mrs Strangeways are making something.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12- What's this?- Pine cone.
0:56:12 > 0:56:18- A pine cone skier. We are going to need a...- Pine cone!- Pine cone.
0:56:18 > 0:56:23I think the pine cone will be the body of someone on skis.
0:56:23 > 0:56:27- What's this for?- Head!- A Head.
0:56:27 > 0:56:34Right, if this is your pinecone, we need to put his head on.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36How do you stick his head on?
0:56:36 > 0:56:38With the hot glue gun.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42There you go, Charlie. Now you've got a head.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44What's Davy doing with the head?
0:56:44 > 0:56:47I think he's drawing a face.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52- I've nearly done my skier. - A warm hat for snowy weather.
0:56:52 > 0:56:53What a good idea!
0:56:57 > 0:56:59What about the mouth?
0:57:01 > 0:57:04What will make a good long skis?
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Lollipop sticks!
0:57:08 > 0:57:12- Coloured with felt-tip pens. - I made skis in multicolours.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Multicoloured skis!
0:57:15 > 0:57:19Whoa!
0:57:19 > 0:57:23- There you go, Mitchell. - I'm doing mine in a pattern.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27Mitchell has made pipe cleaner arms for his skier.
0:57:29 > 0:57:35Ms Strangeways, can you glue on my skis?
0:57:35 > 0:57:39Just one job left - glue on the sticks.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42- I want it that way up.- That way up? - I don't mind with this one.
0:57:42 > 0:57:47- How do you want it to stand? - Like that. Like that.- Like that.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15Davy has made his.
0:58:15 > 0:58:19- Davy is first to finish. - Well done, Davy.
0:58:25 > 0:58:27We'll put yours up there.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33Charlie's skier is ready too.
0:58:37 > 0:58:40What a fabulous team of skiers!
0:58:47 > 0:58:50What I would like to know is what you've enjoyed.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53Mrs Fieldhouse has gathered everyone together to see
0:58:53 > 0:58:57what they can remember about their first term at school.

0:59:24 > 0:59:29do you remember, the very first time, you didn't like to go swimming?
0:59:29 > 0:59:34Do you not remember that? Because you enjoy swimming now, don't you?
0:59:34 > 0:59:37Yeah, but I don't like it in the big pool.
0:59:37 > 0:59:42- You don't like it in the big pool, but you do like the little pool.- Yes.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44What else have you enjoyed?
