Dear Parents and Carers
It seems like we blinked then it's back round to Christmas again... How did that happen! Christmas in school is always a special time and it is a privilege to spend it with the children.
We do keep the normality of our school routines going right to the end and we have to make sure learning time isn't lost. We use the theme of Christmas within the learning as an incentive and purpose for their work.
The first element of Christmas to sneak in is the singing of carols, which we start in our singing assembly right from after half-term so they have time to learn them. We know Christmas is really here when Alena and Abella's parents generously deliver our Christmas tree from their garden centre. After School Club decorate it with Mrs Robinson then there is no escaping that Christmas has arrived.
The last three weeks of term include Christmas Fair and Film Night, visits to the Snowdome, Nativity Plays and Carol Service, parties, writing letters to, and a visit from, the big man in red himself. By the time we break up we will all be ready to put our feet up with a mince pie and a cup of tea.
