Thank you to all who attended the
Christmas Cafes last week. The
festive atmosphere was lovely,
and so many people having fun
and supporting each other.
Children on Gold
08/12/17 — 70
15/12/17— 68
Rabbit Class are asking for spare
uniform and PE kits, for if/when
children have accidents or get
wet at playtime.
We have only a small selection
of clothes left now, so if you
have borrowed some
previously, please look them
out, wash and return.
Hard to believe a term is over—the
holiday season is upon us, and the
Christian reason behind the
celebration may seem forgotten. As
you wake up on Christmas morning
(whatever time that may be) spare
a thought for others, and
remember that Mary and Joseph
were taken in and cared for.
When we remember a special
Christmas, it is not the presents
that made it special, but the
laughter, the feeling of love, and
the togetherness of friends and
family that made that Christmas
special.
School Dinners
On Tuesday 19th December (the last day
of term) the advertised meal will be
replaced with fish fingers, chips, beans
and peas.
The amazing school Christmas Fayre took place
on Friday last week—and wow! It truly was
fantastic; so many people supporting, helping
and having fun! When the basic costs had been
removed the total stood at £656. A few other
things still need to be paid for, but what a
wonderful amount raised in just a couple of
hours.
The school disco was also a huge success and
raised £159!
Headlice...
Once a week
Take a peek
On Wednesday, eleven children from Penguin and Cheetah class visited the residents at Buckingham Lodge Care Home to sing a mixture of traditional carols and more contemporary songs to the residents. Wearing festive jumpers and hats, the children sang about riding a donkey into Bethlehem, rejoicing the birth of Jesus, jingle bells on a sleigh ride and the giving of 364 gifts including partridges, golden rings and drummers drumming. The residents loved it and clapped and sang along too! Well done to our awesome singers - they well and truly sang their hearts out!

Please do remember that class teachers are the first port of call with issues regarding your child. They can be seen, by prior arrangements, at a mutually convenient time.
If you would like to come in and talk to a member of the Senior Leadership Team please ask the office staff to book you a time. Please note, it is also possible to ask for a telephone discussion if this is more convenient.
Questionnaires
Many thanks to those who
completed paper
questionnaires during the
Christmas Cafes. There are
more available in the entrance
way, or you can complete
online at Parentview.
We thought about how to
mark the children’s school
years, with a lasting
memory. Each year from
now on, every child will
decorate a Christmas Tree
decoration. For Reception a
Star, Year 1 a bauble, Year
2 a stocking, Year 3 a bell,
Year 4 a snowman, Year 5
a Christmas Tree, and
Year 6 an angel. When
they leave Primary
School, they will have 7
different decorations with
memories of each year
here. My parents still
have decorations that I
made when I was young,
so I hope that you can
also treasure this
sequence of decorations
for years to come.
We have now reached the grand total of 1066 star vouchers collected which means we have easily reached the £500 target. We are also slightly ahead of the other schools in terms of the numbers of vouchers collected per pupil for the extra £500 at this stage. This is brilliant news but please do keep up the collections as it could all change.
