Celebration assembly - Next Friday - 13th December will be our final celebration assembly. Birthdays that fall between the
16th December and the end of the year will be celebrated at Church and any in the first few days of the New Year will be
celebrated at the Celebration assembly in the first week back after the holidays.
Walk-in Tuesday - The couple of weeks leading up to
the end of term are always busy. Tuesday 10th will be no
exception. There is a performance of the KS1 nativity in
the afternoon followed by Walk-in Tuesday straight
after school. Another KS1 performance takes place in
the evening at 6pm. Walk - in Tuesday will therefore
finish at 3.45pm.
MOVIE NIGHT TONIGHT 5-7pm Children can come in their pyjamas or onesies and bring a pillow and a blanket. Don’t forget to bring a lidded drinks bottle too.
Christmas Decorations
Thank you to everyone who has already
brought in a decoration for our Christmas tree,
Why not send some time this weekend making
a small decoration to put on the tree. All entries
will receive a small token and every overall year
group winner will receive a prize.
Christmas Postbox - The Christmas postbox is
now open. Please put all Christmas cards into
the box. Remember to put the child’s first and
last name and their class on the envelope. Cards
are sorted each day by our Year five children and
are given out at the end of each day.
Christingle service - Thank you to the year five
children and the ‘Christingle team’ for creating
the Christingle oranges in their workshop this
morning. The Christingle service takes
place after the Christmas Fayre at
4.30pm in the church.
Thought of the day - ‘Lets
approach Christmas with an
expectant hush, rather than a last
minute rush’. Anonymous

Choir at Cavendish House - Thank
you to the children who sang at Cavendish
House Care home this afternoon – you were
brilliant! Thank you to all the parents and the
minibus driver who transported us to and from the home.
We will be singing there again the week after next at a
Reconnections event. Reconnection is an Age Concern
initiative that seeks to help older members of our community
who have become isolated and lonely. The initiative helps
them reintegrate into community activities to help combat
loneliness. Our children will lead a community carol singing
session.
Posada / Travelling Crib - There are lots of
evenings where our figures of Mary and
Joseph have no accommodation. Could you
welcome the figures of Mary and Joseph into
your home for the evening? If so, please sign
up on the sheet in the reception area.

December, we are having our Autumn
term RE Immersion Day. The theme is
INCARNATION. We look forward to
what we will learn during the day.
