Christmas Party!

What a great afternoon the children had today! The PTFA pulled out all the stops and produced another fantastic Christmas Party, with a super DJ (complete with snow machine), delicious party food, and a very special visit from Father Christmas.

Everyone had a brilliant time, as can be seen from the photos below.



Thank you to everyone who made the afternoon so special.

Christmas Carol Service

On Monday evening children, staff, parents, grandparents and friends congregated in St Mary's Church for a celebration of all things Christmas. The service was an opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, and involved all members of the school community. Many children had the chance to do readings and poems, and everyone enjoyed singing Christmas songs and Carols. There was the usual offering from the staff - this year a sketch and song (I'm Dreaming of a Quiet Christmas).



A parent captured most of the service on film for us, for which we are very grateful, and this is embedded below (in three parts).

Christmas Lunch

On Tuesday lunchtime children, staff, governors and parent helpers gathered together for a delightful meal superbly cooked by Caroline.
The highlight for many (apart from the lovely food) was the spontaneous rendition of 'Sparkle and Shine', as performed at Monday's carol service, between courses!



The Elves and the Shoemaker

This morning Red Class went to watch 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' superbly performed by the Stuff & Nonsense Theatre Company at the Wolsey Studio.
There were stunning puppets, music and surprises aplenty for a very enthusiastic audience as the story was re-told with a modern twist...

Talent Show 2013

This afternoon saw an array of talent on show with singing, dancing, instrumental pieces, gymnastics, comedy and much more.
It was great to see so many children putting themselves forward to entertain us all whilst clearly enjoying themselves too.
