This Weeks News and Notices

* A big thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Craft Day both in the lead-up collecting resources and on the day itself. Your help made a huge difference, and the children worked incredibly hard to create this stunning display!

* We are excited to see you at the Christmas lights event on Sunday when forty two of our Kingfishers, Swans and Eagles pupils will be performing three festive Christmas songs. We hope you can join us and enjoy this wonderful community event

* Our Christmas Shop will be opening next week! This is a wonderful opportunity for children to choose and buy gifts for their family members. Each child can buy a wrapped present so they can keep it as a surprise until Christmas morning.The shop will be open during school hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Each gift costs £3, so please send your child with the correct amount in an envelope, along with a list of who they would like to buy for written on the front

* Christmas lunch on Wednesday 10th December - next Friday, every child will be asked if they would like a Christmas lunch. If they opt out, then they will need to bring a packed lunch from home. Please discuss with your child what their preferred choice is. We will confirm, with an app message, if your child requires a packed lunch on Christmas lunch day

* Christmas Party on Wednesday 17th December - Swans and Eagles children will need to pay £2.75 on Parentpay for the party food unless they are in receipt of free school meals. Children can come to school in their party clothes but they will be participating in art activities in the morning

Prayer of the Week 

Dear God,

Lord, as we begin this season of Advent,

help us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus.
Fill us with hope and joy as we wait for His light to shine in our lives.
Guide us to share kindness and love with everyone around us

Amen
