Happy Christmas Everyone We would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas

& a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

CLASS PARTIES Don’t forget to send a disposable plate of bite size party food on

on this day too. No drinks from home thank you-drinks will be provided.

CHRISTMAS SERVICE Our Christmas Service is at St Mary’s Church at 9.30am next Friday

20th December. As always we would be very grateful for parents to help

us with the walk to and from church and then to help at lunchtime (12

together. Please let the school office know if you are able to help at

lunchtime.

also be worn for outdoor PE.

LOST PROPERTY

Please, please sew name labels into all items of school uniform ready for

next term. Trainers and school shoes must also be clearly marked.

Labels with just a family surname for all children in a family are a cost

effective way to label uniform that may be passed on between siblings.

Hannah and the PTA team, Class Reps and all parent helpers for their

amazing work this term.

PTA CHRISTMAS MARKET Don’t forget that our ‘Children’s PTA Christmas Market’ is on Monday.

Every child should bring £5 to school in a named envelope or purse plus a

carrier bag/shopping bag to put their items in to take home.

Each class will go to the ‘Market’ in the school hall and buy 3 surprise

Christmas gifts and wrap them in Christmas paper provided by the PTA.

Please talk to your children about who they should buy gifts for: Usually

Mummy, Daddy and one other person. Brothers and sisters can agree to buy

each other a surprise or maybe a shared gift for grannies and granddads.

Parents can put a message into contact books to help younger children and

their teachers. Year 5 and 6 will help Ruby and Emerald class with their

shopping and wrapping.

CAKE SALE & TOMBOLA On Wednesday 18th December, there will be Tombola and cake sale at the

end of the school day, run by Natalie Barden our former pupil who has been

raising funds towards her voluntary work next year in Nepal. Natalie is really

grateful for everyone’s support-her Dancethon raised £62 and the jumble

sale was a huge success, bringing her final figure to £525….well on the way

to the £800 target.
