Our Christmas Party Day is underway and the fun has already started. We have party food galore, natty looking party children, a dancing reindeer in Year 2 Tarzan and Mr Marvel is entertaining the troops. We know how to brighten up a gloomy day!

We’ve had a fantastic day today with author and illustrator David Lucas who inspired us with his brilliant ideas and top tips for writing. All the junior children enjoyed a special workshop where he shared his book writing secrets. We all had lots of ideas and can’t wait to start putting them into our stories.

With the nights drawing in and the mornings staying darker, our School Travel Ambassadors led an assembly to the whole school about the importance of being seen and being safe

Not only did we have more than 400 rather cute and cuddly teddy bears in school today – but we raised more than £700 for Children in Need through merchandise and donations. Fantastic! Well done everyone and have a lovely weekend.

The children are feeling right at home today as a sea of pyjamas, onesies, dressing gowns and slippers marks this year’s Children in Need event. We’ll keep you posted on how much we have raised.

Our children have been reflecting on the importance of remembrance and we marked the occasion with a one minute silence today. We will remember them.
