Season’s Greetings

Welcome to our Christmas performance,
It looks a little bit different this year,
But we’re hoping to still bring you,
Lots of happy Christmas cheer.

We missed the Church and nativities,
And singing from our hearts,

But we’ve thought of new ways to celebrate,
And we have all played our part.

We hope you enjoy watching our video,
It was made with you in mind.
To share a little festive light,
As we leave this year behind.

Christmas Lunch Menu and Information

The kitchen staff, Karen and Jane, would like to say a very big thank you to everyone for their support over the last few months. The Grab Bags have worked well and the children have welcomed the return of jacket potatoes!

Karen and Jane will be serving a delicious Christmas meal on Thursday 17th December. This will be prepared on site and delivered to the children in their classrooms, in individual servings. There is a choice of Roast Turkey or Parsnip and Sweet Potato Loaf, both served with the usual trimmings, and followed by a Chocolate, Orange and Cranberry Brownie for desert. Karen needs to know numbers in advance, to enable correct ordering of supplies.

If you would like your child to have a school Christmas lunch, please let the school office know by emailing [email protected] or send in a note with your child, no later than Friday 11th December.

Thank you.

Youth Sport Trust Virtual After School Club

Click to find out more on the Youth Sport Trust website

Due to the very limited extra-curricular provision we can provide as a result of Covid-19, the Youth Sport Trust have launched a virtual after school club. They have taken the step to deliver a free virtual after school club as part of a national response to
the second lockdown. The 30-minute club will take place at 5pm each weekday and be led by a different member of the YST’s athlete mentor network, starting on Thursday 12 November with world no.1 female inline skater and 10-time British Champion Jenna Downing. The After School Sport Club will then run for five weeks until December 18 and children and young people can take part live by visiting their YouTube channel – http://www.youtube.com/user/YouthSportTrust

Aimed mainly at primary-aged children, a different theme has been assigned for each day of the club – Adventure Monday, Tuesday Play, Wild Wednesday, Thinking Thursday and Fun Friday. The YST hope that this will provide support, capacity and inspiration for young people. Enjoy some home based physical fitness and have fun!

Fantastic Fundraising Fun!

Thank you for your generous donations to Children in Need. The children had great fun participating in a variety of ‘Act your Age’ challenges including speed art tasks, obstacle courses and laps of the playground whilst doing keep ups with a tennis racket, and We managed to raise a wonderful amount of £426.23.
