The Citizen, 2009-12-24, Page 11We asked the Grade 1 students at Brussels Public School... What do you think Santa’s elves look like and what would you say to one if you ever met? “I think they wear green clothes with green hats. They would have a couple of different ones in case they got dirty at Santa’s workshop, but their skin would be grey. I think they would be medium sized. I would ask him what toys he was going to make this Christmas and what Santa’s workshop looks like.” - Ben “They would have green hats and a green suit, because they have green everything. I think an elf would be about 20 centimetres tall and have black shoes, but he wouldn’t wear glasses. I would ask him what toys he wanted for Christmas.” - Taylor “They would have green hats, green suits and they make toys. They would have black shoes too, that’s a fact. I would tell him to get to work.” - Tory “They would have a long beard like Santa and have elf hats with green suits. I would tell the elf that he is very capable.” - Hudson “They wear Christmas clothes, red and green. They’re smaller than us for sure. I would ask the elf for a toy for Christmas.” - Bianka “They would have green hats or red hats, but then a white furry collar on their shirts. I think an elf is about 15 feet tall. I would ask the elf if he wanted to have fun, then I could tell him that I would help him out.” - Lucas “I know that they make toys. They have big ears and they’re small. They wear green clothes too. I would ask the elf if I was on Santa’s bad list.” - Charles “I think they’re short and they all wear red clothes. I would ask the elf what it is like living up in the sky.” - Azana “They have green hats and green boots. Everything is green and they’re just really short. I would tell the elf that he’s been a good boy.” - Devin “They look green, but they also look red. I know about the elves, because Santa sent me a video note and the elves walk around and look through your windows to see if you’re good or bad. Would I say something to the elf, or would he say something first? I would say hi, but if he asked me first, I would tell him what I wanted for Christmas in case I hadn’t got my letter to Santa in yet.” - Jordyn “They have cool eyes and some black boots. Maybe they have pointyears too and they wear a wholebunch of red and green and maybe acool Santa hat.I would ask him why he makestoys and why does he like wrappinggifts and other things about his job.” - Max “They’re small and they have big ears and they wear green all over because that’s what elves look like. I would ask if they’ve seen Santa lately.” - Nolan “They have a hat, they have hammers and they have a tool belt to hold in the hammers. I would ask him what he wanted for Christmas, or I would just say hi and ask what’s up?” - Justin “I think they’re tall and they have a hat and they wear all green and white. I would probably just say thank you.” - Grace “They have a red nose and they wear red and green. I would ask the elf if Santa is nice to them.” - Matthew “They wear green hats and greensuits and green pants and they havepointy ears.I would ask what kind of toys hewas making for this Christmas.” -Perrin “I think they’re short and green and they wear funny shoes. I would say hi.” - Tess “He would have a hat like Santa’s, just about and have curly shoes. I would ask how are you?” - Hayden “I think he would be orange and he would wear Christmas clothes. I would say hi.” - Kaylee “I think that they wear green and have jingle bells on all of their clothes. I would say , ‘Hi Elf.’” - Amber “I think they just wear little elf clothes. Then I would say hello to him” - Abby “I think he would look cute. He would be wearing elf clothes too. I would ask if he goes to work.” - Maleah THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2009. PAGE 11.
