Weekly News 15.12.23

Hi everyone,

We have had the most wonderful week in school, full of Christmas cheer and smiles!

Thank you so much for attending our Christmas performances this week. We are immensely proud of our children and we know they loved showing off their many talents! Thank you for the donations received towards tickets which will be put to very good use purchasing resources for the spring term.

I would like to say a huge thank you to our staff for their hard work in making the performances so successful and a special thank you to FOBS for giving up their time to do refreshments on both evenings.

It’s not all over yet though…

You are very welcome to join us at Bicton Church Carol Service on Sunday 17th at 6:30 pm, where some of our children will be singing. They are also singing at Bicton Co-op on Tuesday 19th at 9:30 am.

We break up at 3:15 pm on Thursday 21st and children can wear their Christmas jumper or festive outfit to school again on that day.

Have a lovely weekend.
