Friday 25th November 2016 From the office… We are now in full swing preparing for various events at school in the run up to Christmas, including the ever popular Christmas Fayre next Friday. All classes have been busy developing their learning skills in preparation for this event - designing, creating, preparing and pricing their own class products for the evening, and they have created some wonderful Christmas keepsakes and gifts. There will also be the usual mix of craft stalls, festive food and lots of other things to kick-start the Christmas season, so we all look forward to seeing you there. Please do keep an eye out for further information and posters about the school regarding other events and dates in this busy season! Nick Benbow
