Dear Parents,

Children

We say goodbye today to Noah H (Y2) and his family who are relocating back to Scotland.  We send them our love and best wishes and particularly thank Tracey for all her support of the school.

Swimming

After the holiday Oak Class will be swimming on Fridays, starting 13^th January.  A letter will be sent out in January for permissions and payment.

Forest School

These sessions start on Monday 9^th January for Year 4 and Tuesday 10^th January for Year 6.

Clubs

Clubs start on 9^th January, but we can offer after-school care on Thursday 5^th/Friday 6^th if needed (no booking necessary).  Please contact the office when we restart if you need a space.  Breakfast Club runs every day and you do not need to book.

Dates

We finish for the holiday today at 3.15pm and the children return to school at 8.50am on Thursday 5^th January.  Don’t forget the pantomime trip on Friday 6^th January – you may wish your child to have a small packet of sweets and a non-fizzy drink in a plastic bottle.  As we will be late back to school that day, normal hot dinners will not be available, so please provide your child with a packed lunch.

Our Christian value for the term has been Generosity.  Ask your child about the loaves and fishes, the healing of the leper, the four sights of Buddha, the birth of Mohammed, the Rainbow Fish, the Queen of Sheba, God’s promise to Abraham, the widow’s mite, the milk and the jasmine flower, manna from heaven, the Promised King, the Prince of Peace and how we can show generosity to others.
