Dear Parents,

Our Carol service is nearly here it is tomorrow 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 parish have very kindly offered to provide refreshments after the service. Please do stay and have a drink and a chat. Here is their invitation to you all:

Refreshments – Carol Service – Friday 18 December

St Luke’s Church would like to invite you all to stay after the service for tea, coffee and mince pies (with juice and biscuits for any per-school children). They are providing all refreshments free of charge and would love you to stop for a while. If you are around on Friday it would be lovely to see you there.

The Choir sang beautifully at the Christmas Fair on Friday they will be singing at the Carol Service and then at The Methodist Church Christmas Tree Festival at 11am you are very welcome in fact encouraged to come down to the Methodist church to hear the children sing a range of festive pieces. They will finish off the season at St Luke’s Church Carol service on Sunday 20th at 6.30. Please could the choir be there from 6.15, the service starts at 6.30, in school uniform.

The Christmas Fair was a lovely event. Thank you so much to the PTA for all their hard work organising it. I don’t have a total raised yet but I will let you know in the new year.

Huge congratulations to our swimming squad who won the swimming gala yesterday. I believe a great time was had by all.

We finish tomorrow for Christmas and return to school on 4th January. The dinner money for next term will be £60 to half term £108 to Easter.

At 6.30 on Friday one of our pupils, Zoie Northfield, and some of her singing friends are putting on a recital in our school hall. I have been asked to pass on an invitation to anyone who would like to see what she has been learning in her singing lessons or is thinking about singing lessons for themselves.

This holiday is one where many children stay inside and use internet connected devices. Please keep reminding them of the rules about internet safety or even better get them to explain them to you!

Thank you all for all the support you have given school this year.

I would like to wish you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.
