Celebrations

The children performed their play to the whole school and Year 3 of the Junior School and to parents too. Their performance was amazing. Thank you to those who were able to come and watch.

The whole school took part in our ‘Christmas in a Box’ experience to learn about the Christian Christmas story.

We had our Christmas parties! We played games and ate some yummy food – thank you for all of the donations. We even had a visit from Father Christmas who brought us some presents – thank you FHIS!

Alongside all of the Christmas fun, the children have been learning about the ELLI Spider who makes connections between their learning.
