Reception Classes had a great time at Multisports today and listened to instructions very well.
Christmas Fair
Thank you to everyone who took part, came along and generally supported our Christmas Fair. What an amazing afternoon of family fun!
We will soon be able to confirm how much profit the fair made. It is likely to be over £4k, more information to be confirmed soon. We were nervous as to whether the atmosphere would be affected given we brought the time forward to coincide with the lantern parade. HOWEVER, the feedback we have received says that this wasn’t the case. Our fabulous entertainers made sure that the atmosphere was Christmassy and just perfect!
A special thank you to Louise Cote and our very own Steve Bird for this.
Wizard of Oz
This year instead of the Christmas Parties, we used the FoML monies raised to pay for each and every one of our children to watch and take part in a pantomime hosted by the Hobgoblin Theatre Company. Our children had a fantastic time…oh yes they did!

Best Dressed Stall
Congratulations to Cygnets who won the best dressed stall as judged by Mrs Creasey. Avril, Clare and Jeanette were awarded with the trophy for 2017. Mrs Creasey was especially impressed with the children’s artwork incorporated into the stalls. Well done Cygnets!
Christmas Raffle
Wow – we received over 50 prizes altogether from our generous donors. Thank you to our Christmas Fair Committee who sought these from local companies. It’s not an easy task and we really appreciate this.
As a result, the Christmas Raffle itself raised over £1k of profit. Thank you!

Today Year 1 completed our History learning on The Great Fire of London by burning our own houses that we had made. We had great fun throwing buckets of water to put the fire out and seeing how quickly the fire spread.
Today Year 1 walked beautifully to the Sunrise Living Care Home and sang carols to the residents there. We all had a lovely time and the residents received some cards from us as well as a heartily sung ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’. They kindly gave us each a drink and clapped after every song. All who were there had a lovely time.
On Thursday and Friday, Year 1 performed ‘The Midwives’ Crisis’ to their families and friends. We had a fantastic time sharing our Nativity and we sang beautifully, spoke clearly and acted well.
Thank you all for supporting us.
Year 2 did two incredible performances of ‘Lights, Camel, Action’! All the children shone brightly and performed so confidently. Well done Year 2!
Thank you to the FoML for organising the Hogboblin Theatre Company. We all enjoyed the show, The Wizard of Oz!
Thank you to all the parents who helped support our Christmas Craft Morning and to all the children for their hard crafting work. Please see the website gallery for more photographs.
In Year 2 we had a wonderful Christmas Craft Morning making Christmas tree lollipop decorations, calendars, Christmas cakes and bead decorations. It was a great morning filled with festive music and sparkles! Please see the website gallery for more photographs.
