Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith
“Enabling our whole school community to flourish and let their light shine, preparing them for their role as gentle and humble agents for change in the world we share.”
Parking
We have had another very near miss this morning in the Crescent regarding traffic and a parent walking their child to school along the pavement. Thank you very much to all those now using the church carpark. We are fortunate to have use of this, and to now have a crossing patrol warden. Please take great care if you do need to use the crescent for any reason. Pick-up and drop-off times are extremely busy and potentially very dangerous.
Performances
Our Christmas performances take place as follows:-
Early Years Nativity 4.30pm Tuesday 10th December
Key Stage 1 Prickly Hay 2.15pm Wednesday 11th December
Key Stage 1 Prickly Hay 6.15pm Thursday 12thth December
Doors will not open until 30 minutes before each performance.
Christmas Hampers
The draw will take place in next week’s family worship. Family worship next week (13th) will begin earlier, promptly at 2.30pm.
Dougie Mac Christmas Jumper Day
We are taking part in Dougie Mac Christmas Jumper day on Friday 13th December. This will be a non-uniform day. Wear a Christmas Jumper and make an entirely voluntary donation in support of Dougie Mac if you wish to.
Theatre Trip
This year we are taking Years 1 – 4 to the theatre on Tuesday 17th December
To ensure the trip can go ahead we are asking for a contribution of £15 per child. PTA and school will meet the cost of the transport.
New House System
We had great fun on Wednesday taking part in a range of activities to introduce our new house system. The children looked fantastic in their team colours. More information in the new year on how the house system will work.
Regards,
Mr J Gordon
