WE CAN'T BELIEVE it is nearly Christmas, although we have started the
celebrations early at school this year. Rehearsals are underway for our
nativity play. The children in Class 1 and 2 are putting on a nativity play
called 'The Gigantic Star'. They will be performing this on the 6th and
7th December. If you would like to come along to a performance, or to the dress
rehearsal on 4th December, please contact the office. Other Christmas
celebrations include our annual Christmas Fair, which this year is joining with
our monthly CC Cafˇ. This will be held on Monday 10th December at 3pm. Come
along and start (or finish!) your Christmas shopping. The choir will also be
singing a medley of Christmas songs. Our Christmas church service is being held
on 13th December at 11am. We welcome all members of the community to come and
join us.
Friday 16th November brought our annual fund raising for Children In Need. This year the School Council decided they wanted to hold a drawing competition for the children to send in pictures of famous people. They were also given the challenge of dressing up as a famous person. A lot of fun was had by all, as well as raisng a lot of money for the charity.
During the week beginning the 19th November the school held an Anti-Bullying Week. The theme was, 'Safer together, safer wherever.'The aim was to raise the children's awareness of any bullying issues and to give them the skills to deal with it in and out of school. We were visited by the Playright theatre company who performed an Anti-Bullying play and the community police visited to raise awareness of 'Stranger Danger'. The children were all involved in re-writing our anti -bullying leaflet and a copy went home to all parents.
Class 3 and 4 have made a very special visit to the Cambridgeshire Proms at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. They were invited to go and 'Meet the Orchestra'and thoroughly enjoyed listening to a wide range of music from a variety of different instruments.
Three children from class 4 were specially chosen to go to the Diocesan Offices in Ely on 23rd November as part of the national '11 million Takeover Day'. They went to the Diocese offices to do an Eco-study of the centre and they fed back to a panel at the end of the day.
We look forward to seeing you at some of our Christmas celebrations.
