Dear Parents,

I hope those of you who have managed to see the production of The Jolly Christmas Postman have enjoyed it. I know the children are enjoying performing it to you. Tonight is the last night and tickets are like gold dust. Please make sure you bring your tickets with you as there are no spares!

The children across school are busy writing the readings for our Carol service on Friday 18th December. We hold this in St Luke’s Church at about 9.20. The children in kestrels provide a nativity tableau for us. Each class provides a reading telling the story of Christmas and we all enjoy a good sing. Please do join us if you can.

The Choir are very busy at the moment they will be singing at the Christmas Fair on Friday at just after 5pm, at the Carol Service on 18th, at The Methodist Church Christmas Tree Festival at 11am and at St Luke’s Church Carol service on Sunday 20th at 6.30.

It is finally nearly here tomorrow it is the Christmas Fair. This is the big fundraiser of the year organised by the PTA. It is always a fabulous event. This year it will be from 5 – 6.30. Please do come if you can as the children love it. I believe Father Christmas has agreed to take time out of his busy schedule to meet the children.

Next week it is party week. The Eagles and Merlins will be partying on Tuesday, the Kites and Harriers on Wednesday and the Kestrels, Peregrines and Ospreys on Thursday. The children can come in party clothes on the day of their party or get changed at dinner time. Please remember they will need to navigate a morning at school including playing out so unfortunately a strapless ball gown may not manageable!

I hope you have received a text welcoming you to our new texting service trial. If you haven’t please let us know so we can ensure your number is on the list. You can text us using this service to let us know about absences or other routine messages. Please let us know what you think of it whilst we are deciding whether or not to buy the service.

Remember it is Christmas Dinner Day tomorrow so no need for packed lunches.

Key Stage Two children have been given a letter to sign up for fruit next term, please return it as soon as possible if your child would like to have fruit. Children in key stage One get free fruit.
