Good evening all,

As we approach the Christmas season I have had to make a few decisions to ensure the safety of all children and staff in schools.

We would still like the children to write Christmas cards for their friends and teachers but we must insist that they only write them for people within their bubble / class. We will not be having a post box within school this year so each class will collect their own cards. The cards will need to be quarantined for 72 hours before handing them out to children. We are asking that all Christmas cards are delivered to school no later than Friday 11th December and they will be handed out in the last week of term for children to take home.

Sadly, we will not be having a Christmas Fair this year but we will be having a raffle. Information has been sent out by the Friends of School today regarding the selling of raffle tickets starting on Monday 30th November.

We are currently in talks with Father Christmas about ways in which we can safely get him to come to school to visit our children. We obviously need to make sure that he is fit and healthy for his very busy Christmas Eve – I will update you on this as soon as I can.

Christmas Dinner day will go ahead in the last week of term. We will send information out about this next week.

Christmas jumper day is Friday 11th December.

Enjoy your weekend
