Welcome to our Newsletter
The highlight of this week has undoubtedly been the Key Stage 1 performances of ‘The Angel Who Nearly Missed It All!’. What a wonderful nativity play this was! All the children acted and sang their hearts out. We have also hosted ‘Breakfast with Santa’ -our very popular morning event. It is always lovely to start the day with a good breakfast and a gift from Father Christmas!
Next week will play host to Christmas parties on Thursday and a Key stage 2 Carol Service on Friday morning. We will then have made it to the end of what has been a very long and eventful term!
Happy Birthday to you...

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...Thomas and Leila-Rae who have celebrated his birthday this week!
