Monday 16th December
Pupils will be rehearsing at the Chapel during the day. They
will return to school at lunchtime and at the end of the school day. There will
be no need for any additional arrangements to be made.
Tuesday 17th December
Concert arrangementsMrs Johnson has suggested that all pupils who are in the choir wear the BLACK CLOTHING required for the performance to school in the morning to avoid changing. As you know we don’t ask parents to buy specific clothing for any school event any black shirt / T shirt will be acceptable, however, we will ask you not to display any prominent logos or words on them.
Those pupils who are wearing white costumes will need to wear school uniform and change for the afternoon. They can wear costumes to and from the Chapel at the evening performance.
Pupils are expected to attend BOTH concerts and should be in the Chapel by 5.40 p.m. for the evening performance at the latest. Pupils will be expected to be collected from the Chapel unless you give prior consent for them to walk home.
We will, unfortunately, be unable to accommodate any babies or toddlers as there will be no room for them to sit on laps during the concert or for any prams, pushchairs and buggies. I would appreciate your co-oporation in this matter.
Wednesday 18th December
School uniform is not needed today. There has been a
suggestion that if pupils would like to wear a Christmas Jumper and bring in a
small donation to charity the School Council will organise a contest to see
which class has the best selection of jumpers. In addition pupils can bring in
toys and games to play. Please can we not have expensive electronic games,
mobile phones or any electronic device that need connection to the Internet.
The school cannot provide this and parents are reminded that the school cannot
accept any liability for loss or damage to these items.
Thursday 19th December
Pupils can bring in toys for the morning session as per
yesterday’s arrangements. During the afternoon the pupils will be having their
class parties and enjoying games and other activities in the hall. Pupils can
wear party clothes to school if required.
Friday 20th December 2013, Monday 6th January 2014 and
Tuesday 7th January 2014 are Staff In-Service training days and school will be
closed for all pupils. School recommences for the Spring term on Wednesday 8th
January 2014. The one remaining INSET day is an LA designated day on Monday
21st July 2014.
Please will all parents pay any outstanding balances on
dinner money and ensure that all clothing and bags are taken home and not left
in the cloakrooms.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your generosity
in sending in so many cards and presents, it is appreciated. On behalf of the
staff and Governors may I wish you a peaceful Christmas and a happy and
prosperous New Year.
