Friday 9th December
Good evening,
School is full of festive cheer this week! We’ve had some brilliant Christmas performances this week led by our younger children. I have been amazed by the lines that had been learnt, the costumes, the singing and the team work involved. We definitely have some stars in the making!
Thank you, also, to those that helped in the Frost Fayre. It was lovely to see so many people supporting the school and the busy atmosphere. We all really appreciate the support and the hard work that goes into preparing such a fantastic event.
For the last week of term, we have some Christmas treats to look forward to. We’re all looking forward to the festivities.
Have a lovely and safe weekend.
Mrs L. Edgerton
