This is the final Newsletter of 2017! On Wednesday we will start what is referred to as the Christmas Holiday. We know that for our Christian families this has a particular significance and is a time of celebration. We know that not all our families celebrate Christmas in a traditional way. Some of our families use this time to gather their families together in love and friendship, some of our families make this a time that might not have a religious significance, but it is a time for family, for generosity and kindness. However you may choose to spend this holiday, enjoy it and make sure you make the most of the holiday time you have with those you love and care for! Here are seasonal greetings in NEARLY all the languages spoken by our pupils at home. Kurdish: Sersala Ve Mibarek Be Portuguese/Brazilian: Feliz Ano Novo Turkish: Mutlu Yillar Spanish: Feliz Año Nuevo French: Bonne Année Somali: Sanadka cusub oo faraxsan Hungarian: Bolog Uj Evet Bulgarian: Честита Нова Година (Chestita Nova Godina)

LPESSN Champions League

Keyworth students have been entering competitions, taking part in multi-skill days, ice-skating and orienteering this term which has culminated in Keyworth coming first in our catchment area for sports participation with our PE network!

This is a great achievement and is supporting our children to become more active and enjoy sport.

Our teachers have also attended various training insets and taken part in on-going team teaching with external coaches to ensure the standard of our PE lessons are continually developing.

Well done to all children and staff! Let's keep it up!

Early Years Nativity

Many thanks to all the parents who came to see their children perform in

the Early Years’ Christmas Nativity.

Your support for all activities we hold in school is always appreciated, but

it was especially great to see so many of you on Thursday and Friday.

The Reception and Nursery children had worked hard to learn the songs

and practise their speaking parts.

I’m sure Early Years parents will agree that the children did a fabulous

job at telling the Christmas story.
