Christingle

Today, as well as Christmas lunch, the children spent time learning about the meaning behind the Christingle service and the Christingle itself. We discussed the importance of thinking of others at this special time of year and how fortunate we are to have loving family and friends.
Rev. Andy lead the school in a candle lit service.  An air of peace and contentment filled the hall.  A beautiful end to the day.

Christmas Lunch 2014

Today, the whole school enjoyed a beautiful, festive and delicious school lunch cooked by Lucy Hall and her helpers, Nastasha and Coral.  We all had a fantastic time and spent the afternoon feeling very full, but very happy.

KS1 Christmas Party

Party afternoon for the children in KS1.  Music, cheers and excitement echoed through the halls as a variety of party games were played.  The children then went back to their classrooms and enjoyed the party food, provided by the parents.

What a Star! KS1 Christmas Production.

What a fantastic night! KS1 wowed their audience with a bright, vibrant and beautifully performed nativity.  Despite the heave schedule and later night, the children bounced into the hall for their final performance and sung their hearts out.  A big congratulations to all the staff/producers/choreographers/music technicians and stage hands and a massive well doe to all the children/actors/choir/stars!

DVDs will be on sale in the very near future.  Letters will be on their way home soon.

Gingerbread houses

Classes 4 and 5 have been in a Christmas frenzy this week.  They have all completed a Gingerbread house project using a range of skills including scaling, 3D drawing and model building, weighing ad measuring, reading scales and design.  The project was certainly not without its challenges, but with excellent team work, the children were able to find solutions.  I think you will agree, the results were worthwhile.

Christmas Decoration Day 2014

A quick catch up before things really get busy at school next week! If you haven't been into school recently or haven't looked up, you may not have notice the beautiful decorations adorning the school corridor and hall.  All the work of the children and helpers on Christmas decoration day.  Come and have a look.
