The Headteacher’s Advent Calendar
By Mrs Fellowes
Guess what children!
Santa’s been to school!
He’s been seeing what we’ve been up to.
He thinks we’re quite cool.
He gave me these prezzies,
And told me to give them away!
So this is the Headteacher’s advent calendar,
There’s a gift for every school day!
Who is the first present for? I cannot pick.
So I have asked all your teachers,
They came back to me quick.
The first gift goes to Aaliyah it’s from Miss Tierney,
We hope that you like it, put it under your tree.
You are a superstar so kind and so sweet.
You’re always so smiley, your uniforms so neat!
The second gift goes to Shelby, it is from Mrs Clarke,
We all think you’re lovely and you’ve made a great start.
You’ve been working so hard and we wanted to say,
Here’s a prezzie from us, for Christmas day!
The third gifts for you Sonny!
It’s from Miss R and Miss B.
Because you are so kind, modest and caring,
You’re perfect you see!
And another teacher is joining in on day 3,
Nominating Tselmuun it’s obvious, you’ll see,
She perseveres and is kind, she’s settled in to stay,
so well done, you’ve been chosen by Mrs Way.
On the fourth day it’s you Jack,
chosen by Mrs Louis White.
You are honest and hardworking you try to make things right!
Your efforts have been noticed by us all.
You are simply amazing- a role model for our school.
On day five it’s Jaycee, nominated by Miss Dean.
She’s noticed your hard work you are always so keen.
So there’s a gift for you hiding under my tree.
Pop along to my office and you will see.
On day six it’s Reagan and Miss Harrison has chosen you!
You are so kind to others and you are helpful too!
So come grab your gift- it is waiting you’ll see.
And unwrap it on Christmas day! Put it under your tree.
On day seven it’s Rachel and Miss Cahill picked you!
You’re patient and honest, it really is true.
There really is no-one better to have this treasure.
Having you at Abbeys is really a pleasure.
On day eight it is Mr Godfrey’s turn!
He’s chosen two children- will he ever learn?
They are Zoha and Amie, he says you’re both ALWAYS great.
So come grab your prezzies and please don’t be late.
On day nine it’s Mrs M’s turn and she’s chosen Ronny!
You’re kind and you’re caring- as nice as can be!
You cause no hassle and you listen to us!
So come grab your prezzie for causing no fuss!
On day ten, it’s Hafsa and it’s ruined my rhyme!
Miss Sadia has picked you- it isn’t a crime.
You're practically perfect in every way,
So there’s a gift here for you, for Christmas day!
On day 11 we have another two!
Miss Proctor and Miss Henry have chosen you!
Dexter and Freya B, you really are neat,
You deserve these gifts for being so sweet!
It’s day twelve and Mrs Chambers has selected Mercia,
To come and grab a present- you have nothing to fear!
You’ve adapted to Abbeys and our unique ways,
You are hardworking and resilient and you deserve all this praise!
And that’s it! The terms over and we’ve had so much fun!
What’s that you say? I’ve not chosen anyone!
I’ve had a good think and I can safely say,
one young boy is always making my day!
So come and take the last present Andrei, as I’ve chosen you!
You must share it with David as I have noticed him too!
You are sweet and kind and it is lovely to see.
You really make Abbeys a nicer place to be!
Now that is really it, this poem is done.
I am sorry there’s not a present for everyone!
I really hope that you’ve enjoyed the Autumn term?
It’s been busy, but fun, I’ve had a lot to learn!
Now it is time for a lovely rest,
I am so tired- it’s just been the best!
Thanks to you all and your families and the staff,
We have hard days, but we do have a laugh!
So enjoy the holiday - whatever you do!
We will see you in 23, goodbye 22!
