Christmas Carol Service.

I hope that you enjoyed the Service yesterday. The children sang the Carols and performed the play with great enthusiasm, and coped well with the vastness of the Abbey. Well done to them and to you for donating £252 for the children supported by Miss Bell in Mozambique, who will have a really special Christmas. Thank you. I will keep you informed of their news.

PTFA Christmas Fete

The fete last Friday was a successful event despite the ravages of rain and recession. Due to your generosity and the efforts of the PTFA we managed to raise nearly £1500 for their funds. Well done and thank you for your continuing support.

End of Term arrangements

The final assembly for infants will be on Thurs 17^th Dec at 9.30 a.m. (doors open at 9.15 a.m.) and for juniors at 1.15 p.m. (doors open at 1.05 p.m.) on Friday 18^th. School will close at 2.30 p.m. for the Christmas holiday.

Pantomime – Roses Theatre

The children are enjoying the excellent pantomime, Cinderella, at the Roses Theatre and the next group to go tomorrow will be Y2, Y3, Y4 and Y5(PH)   Thursday 10^th December. A reminder to send a packed lunch with them tomorrow – those entitled to free meals will be provided for on their return. A reminder that  the bill to school for the performances will be well over £3,000 and we therefore need everyone possible to pay the subsidised payment of £4. Could parents who are helping to walk children to and from the Theatre please be at school for 9.45 a.m. and at the Roses to collect at 12.20 p.m.

Swimming

I promised to update you over the payment situation over swimming and will be able to provide that in next Weds newsletter. If you have not yet made your Autumn term voluntary payment of £15 for Sept., Oct., Nov., and Dec., please do so before next Weds so that I will be able to publish up-to-date figures. Thank you.

Cups & trophies

There are still several awards not yet returned to school for the distribution next week. If you could send them asap please that would be a great help.
