Whole School Newsletter - 22 November
Dear Parent/Carer 22 November 2022
The festive season has truly begun in school! Preparations for the Christmas Fair and the year 3 and 4 Christmas performances are well underway. The response to the chocolate Mufti Day and the making and donating of Christmas Crackers has been fantastic! The time and effort spent on the crackers and the generous donation of chocolate is greatly appreciated.
Christmas Fair
We have had some amazing prizes donated to the Grand Draw. Further raffle tickets can be obtained from the school office this week and you will also be able to purchase them on Saturday at the Fair. Please return any ticket stubs and money to the school over the next few days.
We look forward to welcoming children, parents, grandparents (and the reindeer!) on Saturday 26th November 12.00-2.30pm.
Year 3 and 4 Christmas Performances
We would like to give you early notice that the Year 3 and Year 4 Christmas performances, will be held in the school hall, on Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th December with a 10.00am start. These performances will last no more than one hour if you are required to organise time to attend. Two tickets will be allocated to each family. Ticket information will be sent out shortly – the two tickets for each family (on the preferred date) will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. There will be a limit of 80 seats allocated to parents per performance. We ask that younger siblings do not attend, as the capacity is limited and children should not be sat on the lap of an adult.
Friday 16th December – Christmas lunch and Christmas Jumper Day – children to enjoy a traditional Christmas lunch and are invited to wear Christmas jumpers to school. School will finish at the normal time of 3.15pm.
After School Teacher led Clubs
Please note that the last sessions for the teacher led clubs will be the week beginning Monday 28th November. There will be no teacher led clubs after Friday 2nd December. Teacher led clubs will resume on Monday 16th January 2023.
