Christmas Parties and Elf Day

On Tuesday, all children were given the opportunity to come to school dressed as elves and they certainly did not disappoint! A huge thank you to all parents for the costumes provided and the donations made towards party food for the children. The day itself was a huge success, with children having the opportunity to play games, dance, draw and complete a range of creative Christmas activities. I was very impressed by Reception’s turntaking during ‘Pass the Parcel’, the dance moves on show in Key Stage 1 and the range of different activities taking place in Key Stage 2 (Miss Peacey’s annual bingo session was once again a hit). To add to the festive feeling we served Christmas lunch to the children. Our wonderful catering staff worked tirelessly to ensure almost 240 meals were served (with a little help from Mr James, Mrs Doherty and Mrs Normington). Throughout lunch we were joined by a host of guests, including our committed governors and our army of loyal volunteers. We are indebted to them for the commitment they show to the school and I hope they know their service is greatly appreciated. May I also thank Mrs Grosvenor and Mrs Grimwood for ensuring all meals were organized and accounted for!
