Dear Parents,

We are having a very exciting week as the anticipation around Christmas grows:

• The choir sang beautifully in Glossop on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who supported them or made this possible.
• The children in Kestrels, Peregrines and Ospreys are busy preparing for their production next week. Tickets including requests for extras went out yesterday. If you did not get yours please let us know. There are a few spare tickets remaining if you would like some let us know. For the early evening performances on Tuesday and Thursday the children need to be back at school between 5 and 5.15. Doors will open at 5pm. I don’t yet know how long it will be, but I anticipate it being about half to three quarters of an hour.
• On Tuesday the children accepted our House Christmas Tree Making Challenge. This was fun but also involved the children developing the teamwork and creative skills employers are asking for. The results are stunning. If you get the chance to pop into the hall to see them do. In case you can’t here are some photos.

• It is the Christmas Fair on Friday 5.30-7.30. The children are getting ever more excited about this. They are decorating baubles to sell, practising to sing in the choir and talking about what they will do. Father Christmas has sent a message to say he will be there and you can book a time to visit his grotto as you arrive. I hope to see lots of you there.
