Please note we will not be limiting the tickets per family - first come, first served!

Special Treats

All children will be invited to see a puppet show on Friday 4th December (afternoon). This will be presented by Coverdale Puppets. Costs will be met from our School Funds. The show is usually lots of fun!

Christmas Dinner

We will be serving Christmas Dinner on Wednesday 9th December - we would like ALL children to have a school dinner; no sandwiches please. A vegetarian option will be available - please telephone Avril (School Secretary) if you would like to order the vegetarian option for your child.

Christmas Party

Our Christmas Party will be on Wednesday 16th December. The canteen is preparing the party again for us this year; we are asking for all children to have a school dinner; no sandwiches please. We will charge the usual rate for a school dinner. The canteen will provide the party food and school will provide lots of extras! Party clothes can be worn for the Christmas Party.

Cost of Dinners: Infants £1.90, Juniors £1.95.

Christmas Post

We will be hosting our special Christmas card distribution again this year; each class will have a post box outside their class (from 1st December). We have sked the children to put the Christmas cards for their friends in the boxes (clearly labelled with name/class). We will then sort the cards out and the Christmas Postman will deliver them during the last week of school. There will be a special post box for staff outside my office; the children can post any cards to their teachers / other members of staff there! We look forward to the Christmas Postman delivering the mail!

Christmas Fair

We are planning to hold a Christmas Fair on Thursday 17th December.

Attractions include:

Raffle - choosing the winning ticket!

Classes will visit the Fair after 1.30pm.

We would appreciate any donations for the above stalls; teddy bears, toys, cakes, books etc.

Year 6 pupils will be helping to organise and run the event. Parents are welcome to help...please let us know if you can spare the time to run a stall.
