Unbelievably the autumn term is almost at an end and
Christmas is now well and truly upon us, even the weather is
promising to be snowy!
Last week’s Key Stage 1 Christmas presentation of ‘Sparkle’
was enjoyed by all who saw it. £102 was collected for our
Christmas charity, the Ace of Clubs – thank you for your
tremendous generosity. Also, a great big thank you to the
children, and to all the staff and parents, whose hard work
makes these special events possible. DVDs of ‘Sparkle’ and
CDs of the photographs are available for sale at £5 each
from Mrs Newman. This money will also go to our charity, Ace
of Clubs.
CLASS NEWS
Last week Year 3 enjoyed being able to invite their parents
to watch them lead a collective worship with Mrs O’Toole,
about Christmas around the world. Thank you for your
donations to Ace of Clubs which totalled £26.53
This week all children will be enjoying Christmas lunch,
cinema trips and parties and the Nursery classes will be
singing a selection of seasonal songs to their parents.
PTA NEWS
The Snow Fair made just over £3700! The Christmas tree &
wreath sale on the following day raised just over £2600 –
both excellent totals, and very well deserved for all the
hard work and preparation on both days and for some weeks
beforehand. A special thank you to our teams of coordinators
and to everyone who donated items, made items to sell, set
up, tidied up, helped run stalls, or simply came along and
spent their money.
SPORTS NEWS
For the first time in recent history, the Y5 & 6
inter-house netball tournament was drawn between St
Patrick’s and St David’s. However, St Andrew’s were clear
winners of the Y3 & 4 tournament. Well done to all who took
part.
