Tubs4tablets Great news... We have enough Flora tops for 3 tablets, we even think with one last push we might even get enough for a fourth. We would be grateful for any remaining foil tops which we will be sending off on Wednesday 16th December. Cross Country Mr Westerman and Mrs Warrener took our cross country team to Caythorpe on Thursday afternoon. The whole team were brilliant. However our most successful team were the Y3&4 boys. Charlie came 12th, Harrison finished third and Jackson won it!
Reception and Year 5 Nativity All the children did a super job on Tuesday and Wednesday. Well done. I enjoyed every performance and it was lovely to see the Year 5 children supporting their Reception Buddies.

PTA Christmas Fair The Christmas Fair this year raised a tremendous £1319.25. We couldn't do it without the support of the children, their families and the teachers in the school. Thank you for your support once again. We look forward to seeing you at the events that the PTA have planned for the new year. School Disco Our PTA have had a busy few days. After organising our Christmas Fair they put on two very successful discos for Y2&3 and Y4/5/6. Year 1 Trip to the Pantomime Year 1 will be leaving promptly at 9.00am on Monday morning for their panto trip. Please arrive on time or we may leave without you!!!! Year 6 Pantomime at The Theatre Royal All our Year 6 children visited the Theatre Royal in Lincoln on Thursday to see Snow White. The children thought it was great. Bluey Club visit to Sleaford Theatre Our Bluey Club visited the Little Theatre in Sleaford to see Scrooge. We thought Mrs Moules and Charlie were the stars and we loved it. Carol Concert We are all looking forward to the Carol Concert on Tuesday. All the children and all the staff are walking up and this year we will need pretty much all the seats. It would really help if you let the children sit down first before attempting to find a seat and it may well be that there is only standing room at the back of the Church. Thank you for your consideration. The Year 4 Indian Experience Last week, Sunita Patel visited William Alvey to give the Year 4 children an Indian experience. The children found out about Rama and Sita, had a go at Indian dancing and tried on bindis.
