Christmas Cracker

IT CERTAINLY wasn’t a silent night last Thursday at Longacres Garden Centre, in Shepperton where our choir sang gloriously for all to hear. Mrs Place accompanied the children, who performed a selection

of Christmas Carols that were enjoyed by the staff and customers alike. The evening was full of joy and celebration - well done everyone that attended and represented our school so beautifully!

Let’s make a Difference

Do your bit in a Christmas knit! Children are invited to wear a Christmas Jumper into school on Friday 18 December (the last day of term) in aid of Save the Children. Bring in £1 and leave your school jumpers at home for the day.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a special celebration in America which took place last week

and is another reminder of all the people that we need to also say thank

you to. Thank you to all our parent helpers who help in so many ways,

especially Mr Longman who spent half term completing electrical work in our

School Hall and Mrs Quirke for the fabulous Nativity Costumes. Thank you to Jenny and Elliott Wilsher who do so much for the school in so many ways. A BIG thank you to the PTA ...You are amazing. And finally … to all parents

that donated tissues and pens.

CHRISTMAS is a time for giving. There will be collections at the end of each Nativity performance and at the Junior Carol Service. The children chose where the

proceeds will go to and had the choice of either Shooting Star, Shelter or Age UK and they picked Shelter.
