Christmas jumper day

Fundraising to make a difference together


Yesterday saw the whole school entering  into the spirit of making a difference together by raising funds for Save the Children. The whole school, staff and children, wore Christmas jumpers or something of a Christmas theme and donated money to the charity. Raising over £200 we were delighted to hear in our assembly from the Save the Children representative that this was enough money to pay for a camel library! This would enable the joy of reading to be brought to many children in remote areas of Africa.

In addition our KS2 signing group took a trip to one of our local residents homes to share aspects of our Christmas performance, these included renditions of Mary's boy child, The Band Aid 30 song, Light of the World and of course we wish you a Merry Christmas. The time spent with the residents was enjoyed by all and the group made it back in time to enjoy our Christmas dinner. A fantastic effort by our dinner staff, cooking in excess of 400 meals. They certainly need a rest this Christmas!
The amazing dinner ladies!
