Dear Parents and Carers 02/12/2021
Christmas Fair
Our Christmas Fair, or rather outdoor Christmas Market, will take place on Saturday 11.30-3.30. Do come and join us but wrap up warm.
Children are invited to come with crazy Christmas hair tomorrow in exchange for a contribution for the cake stall. This isn’t a mufti day – children must still be in uniform.
Nativity Performances
We have had no new cases of COVID reported in years 1 and 2 this week. In line with theatres and cinemas, we plan to continue with the performances in school next week however would urge you to do a lateral flow test before attending and to wear a facemask (unless exempt) throughout the performance. As we will be keeping the hall well ventilated, you may want to wear something warm too. We also plan to go ahead with our Reception and Nursery nativity performances in the final week of term.
Lateral Flow Tests are still available for FREE online. Get your tests here.
Parent Governor Vote
Voting closes at noon tomorrow for our new parent governor – the slips will be counted by the Clerk to Governors at 12.30 so don’t be late!
Junior Carol Service
Due to how incredibly busy the church gets and how closely the children are seated & singing together for our carol service, we have decided to run it slightly differently this year. We really want to invite our families so with that in mind are currently hoping to have it outside, at school. (This will hopefully not be impacted by the weather…) We will confirm nearer the time but at present would like to invite you to join us, wrapped up warm, on the 3G for a 2:30pm start on Monday 13th December. We will record the carols to share if circumstances change. Best wishes, Miss Ashby.
Orange Warning
On Thursday 16th December, the final Thursday of term, we will be making Christingles and having short Christingle services in the afternoon. We will also be sending home collection envelopes for the Children’s Society who provide the candles and tape prior to this and would ask that you return the envelope and an orange on the Thursday – we will provide all the other things needed to complete the Christingles.
Watches
Please do not send your child to school wearing an Apple – watch (or any other similar smart watch).
Mayor’s Christmas Card
We are very pleased and proud of Anthony in Owl class who entered the Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition this year.
