Friday 15^th December 2023

It’s the last Friday before the Christmas holidays.

We have had a lovely week in school and the children have been keeping very busy with their Christmas preparations.

The KS 1 Nativity, ‘Mary’s Knitting!’ was a great success. The children were wonderful, they really enjoyed the songs, actions and dances and were smiling the whole way through. We are very proud of you all.

Monday afternoon saw 211 children running around the playground for our annual Christmas Run in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.

It is Christmas lunch and jumper day today and everyone is very excited. The Christmas jumpers have had another outing today and the children look very colourful and cosy! Thank you for your donations to The Meath, I know they will be very grateful to you all.

Our wonderful cook, Josefine, has been working very hard to make sure that the children have an amazing lunch! I think she may have had some help from the mischievous elf!

We have our last four days of school before Christmas next week and whilst we are looking forward to the holidays, we still have lots of important things still to come. I’m really looking forward to the Carol Concert At St Joseph's Church Guildford on Monday. I know that it will be worth waiting for! The children are busy with their final rehearsals today. Our Christmas parties are on Wednesday afternoon, where we hope a special visitor will find time in his busy schedule to pop in to see the children. Golden Assembly will be on Wednesday morning and finally, the all-important ‘Carols Around the Tree’ will be on Thursday afternoon. I hope you can join us for the carols at 1.10pm on Wednesday.

I’m sure that everyone has a very busy weekend ahead. I hope that you enjoy it whatever you are doing,
