Christingle Service It was fantastic to receive such an amazing amount of support for our Y5/6 and school choir Christingle Service which was held in our school hall last night. The children had all worked incredibly hard to research and write the service, including writing their own poems and learning the songs – a truly fantastic performance by all involved. Sincere thanks to everyone who made a voluntary contribution during the event… a massive £75.60 was raised! This money will be shared between the choir and Shark class to further support their work – for the choir and their performances and Shark class in their work towards their ‘ArtsAward’ from the Arts Council. Nativity Tickets FINAL remaining tickets for this years Nativity performances are now on general sale (£1 per ticket) available from the school office. Christmas Party – CHANGE OF DATE!
