Dear Parents/Carers,

As we approach the Christmas holidays, our festive calendar of events will come into play. We will aim to send reminders out as much as we can as we recognise that everyone is busier than usual at this time. The children are looking forward to sharing the Christmas festivities with you.

Thank you so much for your kind donations for our Christmas Fayre today. The children have loved preparing, creating and manning their class stalls. It was so lovely to see everyone coming together to enjoy this popular event.

Finally, a special thank you to our parent helpers who have been selling raffle tickets all week, helping with stalls, and supporting us as usual, we couldn't do it without you all.

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Winter

Headteacher
