Merry Christmas

Wishing all our pupils, parents and carers a very happy Christmas and new year from everyone at the school. I would also like to thank everyone for the wonderful cards and presents we have received. Happy Christmas!

Mrs Folan's last day

Today is Mrs Folan's last day. She has worked at our school for 26 years and taught many of your children and probably some of you as well. I would personally like to thank her for her hard work since I have been headteacher, but also for the many years prior to my arrival. Her smiling face and bubbly character will be sorely missed. We wish her every happiness and success. Thank you Mrs Folan!

Whoopsy Daisy Angel

What an amazing 2 performances we have had from Rome and Paris class over the last two days. The children sung, spoke and danced beautifully and their performance of Whoopsy Daisy Angel was truly magical, angelic if I may be so bold. Thank you to the children, staff and parents for a memorable couple of performances. The behaviour of the children was incredible, which is testament to their character as a naughty elf has invaded our Reception classes recently, disrupting lots of activities!

Magical Christmas Jigsaw production

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend either the morning or afternoon production (or both!) of the Magical Jigsaw. The acting, singing and costumes were fabulous and the children and adults had a great time. Thank you also to all the Key Stage 1 staff for their hard work organising the Christmas show!

Christmas Dinner - 9th December

Christmas dinner was a huge success today! Many thanks to everyone who helped: the kitchen staff for cooking an amazing meal; the PTA for distributing and organising the crackers for your children and all the staff for serving. A good time was had by all and there was a lot of singing and dancing. Photos can be found on the front page of the website.

Construction of new play boat

We have a new construction being erected in the Key Stage 1 playground. The shipwreck of a playboat has landed in the playground. We are hoping that the shipwreck becomes fully functional by the end of next week. We will keep you posted as to the developments of the playboat and when it will be open for pirates to explore!

Pantomimes

The children thoroughly enjoyed the pantomimes today. There were many happy faces and screaming children both at the Towngate theatre and in the Key Stage 1 hall this afternoon. No doubt many of your children will talk to you about their enjoyment of today. A big thank you to the PTA for contributing to the pantomime experience this year.

Nursery Christmas Songs

Yesterday, our Nursery officially started the Christmas period within school. After the bazaar at the weekend organised by the PTA, we had the start of our concerts/performances and our Nursery children kicked everything off in style. The children sung beautifully and waved their wands and stars perfectly. Thank you to everyone for a fantastic start to the week and the Christmas festivities.

Christmas Bazaar - 5th December

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the school's Christmas Bazaar on Saturday. It was wonderful to see so many people there. A huge thank you to all the PTA for organising the event, spending many hours finalising plans to ensure it ran smoothly. We will keep you informed as to how much money was raised in a future letter/post.

Final Day of Clubs - Friday 4th December

All before, lunchtime and after school clubs will finish today for this term. They will restart again in the new year and we will send out a letter informing you when they start and if there are any changes.

Decoration day

Thanks you to everyone who was able to attend this morning and to all the parents/carers who sent their children in Christmas jumpers and t-shirts this morning. It truly has been a festive morning an Santa's little helpers have been busy making decorations. We do hope you are able to attend the Christmas Bazaar tomorrow to maybe buy a decoration or two that are being sold by the school council. Santa will also be in attendance. We have had a fantastic morning and thank you to everyone who was able to help! Lots more photos on the front page of the website!
