On Sunday 13th December

2015 the Folkestone Symphony

Orchestra held their Family

Christmas Concert at the Saga

Pavilion in Folkestone. They

played a wonderful

programme of orchestral

music, including the popular

themes from Harry Potter and

The Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and Saint-Saen’s Danse Macabre.

This year, a joint choir formed from singers from Sandgate Primary and Folkestone Primary Academy was

invited to perform with them. Our fabulous singers rose brilliantly to the occasion and performed three

Christmas favourites for everybody to enjoy; Christmas Calypso, The Little Drummer Boy and Jingle Bell

Rock. Mrs Tait and Ms Tulloch were extremely proud of all our singers for representing our school so

immaculately and performing so professionally! Well done, choir, you rocked!

Folkestone Running Club Awards Well done to Matthew D who won a trophy for Junior Athletic Achievement 2015 for Best Distance Runner and to Emmanuel V who was the 75 metres champion and holds the record for long jump...an impressive 4.13 metres! Sadie B won the junior Coaches Award.

Thank you to everyone who

supported the Santa Fun Run

on Sunday. Not only did our

girls come first, second and

third place but Teyen A won

the boys race and we also

brought back the trophy for

Biggest Team! A special

mention goes to Conrad K, who

ran the whole 5 kilometres!!

Well done Sandgate!
