Friday updates

Happy Friday all!

 

We have had a wonderfully busy few weeks in the lead up to Christmas.

 

The Christmas fair was a huge success and a massive thanks to our wonderful PTA for organising and resourcing this and to our parents for supporting it.

 

The year 1 and 2 Christmas play was so lovely and got us all in the Christmas spirit. The children were so mature, delivered their lines effortlessly and sang and spoke beautifully. We were all very proud of them.

 

This week we have had visits from Santa - again orchestrated by the PTA- and the children were very excited indeed to pay him a visit in his lovely grotto.

 

We know that Christmas for some can be a very stressful time though so please get in touch if you would like to have a chat or need some support. We will do our best to help.

 

Online safety

Over the Christmas period children may be online for longer periods of time so it is especially important that parents are checking who they have as friends on their games and setting parental controls

and the NSPCC guidance on parental controls covering a range of online resources: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/parental-controls/

 

We break for Christmas next Friday 20th at the usual time and return to school on the 6th January.

 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
