The Elf on the Shelf

We watched a short video this afternoon about The Elf on the Shelf.
Every year Santa sends out special Scout Elves to boys and girls in homes and classrooms around the world. Each night the elves return to the North Pole to report back to Santa about how naughty or nice the children are.
The elves always return to the classroom before the children get there (and sometimes they have been a bit mischievous and playful and get up to all sorts of tricks)
We have sent a letter to Santa telling him that we will be on our best behaviour and will look after the elf if we get one. We are REALLY hoping that our class is chosen to have our own Scout Elf sent to us from the North Pole. Only a few classes are chosen each year from schools all around the world so hopefully we will be one of them!
