Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this letter finds you and your families well as we approach the festive season. I am delighted to announce an exciting Christmas competition that I believe your children will thoroughly enjoy.

This year, we are challenging our creative children to design a sleigh for Father Christmas that can float on water in water-bound countries. The winning design will not only bring joy to those less fortunate but will also earn the designer/s a very good prize.

To enter, children should create a detailed plan and model of their sleigh design, highlighting how it would function in a water-based environment. All entries should be submitted to Mrs Burnett by the deadline of Friday 6th December.

I am confident that our children's innovative minds will produce some truly remarkable designs, and I look forward to seeing their submissions. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to explore the principles of physics and design, while also embracing the spirit of Christmas.

Please encourage your child to participate in this competition. I have no doubt that their creativity and problem-solving skills will shine through.

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Wishing you all a wonderful lead-up to the Christmas season.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Burnett

Y6 class teacher and science lead
