The Infant Nativity performances on Friday were fabulous! Well done to all the children for learning their
lines and the words to the songs so well and performing with such confidence. A lovely start to our festive season.
This morning, the KS2 children have had a final full dress rehearsal of their production of Aladdin in front of
the whole school and some parents. The performance was fantastic, with all the children really trying hard as usual. Well done everyone, let’s hope the evening performance is as good. The final performance takes place at the Clarke Foley Centre tomorrow at 7pm.
Today has also been Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day! Thank you to all those who have already donated on line or sent in cash donations today. The link will remain open until the end of term for those who would like to donate to Save the Children. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cjd240022888
