Christmas performance letters were emailed to you last week, please sign up for places through the Parents Evening System on Monday 25th November from 8.00pm. There are strictly two places per child and no under 5s will be admitted. Often families choose to have 1 person in each performance so their child has somebody to wave to at each performance. On the day of performances seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis. This year, once again, the school is collecting presents to pass on to the youngest members of our community. We are asking for gifts to go under our tree that will go to a child whose family may be struggling to make ends meet and without the extra money for presents at Christmas. If you would like to participate please send a gift to school, wrapped and with a tag showing the suitable age (and gender if you feel it is relevant). A volunteer from Vineyard Church St Albans will collect gifts on Monday 9th December After School Clubs Spring 2020 We still have spaces on the following clubs: Arts & Crafts (FS2) - Monday Tag Rugby—Monday Cricket—Wednesday Arts & Crafts (Y1/Y2) - Thursday Gymnastics—Friday These can be booked through your schoolcomms account (accessed from a computer or your gateway app). Winter Menu Now we have finished the complete cycle of new menus, please make sure you talk to your child/children about their menu choices. Especially now the weather is geng colder, it is important the children have a good meal inside them. On Tuesday (week 3) there were a large number of children who did not like their choices: Shepherd’s Pie (Red) Macaroni Cheese (Green) Chicken Mayo Wrap (Purple) Cheese Roll (Yellow) If you would like to make any changes please come to the office and speak to Serena. Christmas Baubles We are inviting children in Y1 and Y2 to bring in a bauble, which they may decorate if they wish to, on either Wednesday or Thursday next week.
