Friday 5th December 

Head Teacher- Mrs Burden 

A massive well done to Oak class who performed their Nativity this week to their parents. They were all so courageous and performed with such confidence. Well done Oak class you were amazing. 

Also well done to the Choir who visited Pear Tree Court care home on Thursday to sing some Christmas songs. The residents in the care home loved their singing and the children showed a lot of Love and Respect. 

Next Thursday we will be having Christmas dinner at school. It is also Christmas jumper day. Children are allowed to come to school wearing their normal school uniform but a Christmas jumper instead of their red school jumper.

We really appreciate you giving up your time to give the children such a wonderful experience.

Book of the Month – December 2025

Russell’s Christmas Magic by Rob Scotton

When Santa and his broken sleigh are stranded in Firefly Wood, Santa is sure that Christmas will have to be cancelled. That is, until Russell the Sheep comes to the rescue! With a clatter and a bang, Russell shows that hard work and a little imagination can make a magic that is all his own.

This is the perfect book to snuggle up with as the nights draw in and we start to look forward to Christmas.

Picture News 

The children have been discussing this in Collective worship this week.

If your child would like to post some cards please make sure they write their friends full name and class on the front so we can make sure it reaches the right person.
