The dance club will be cancelled next week, Monday 7th December. The final session will be on Monday 14th December when the dancers will be performing for their parents at 4pm in the hall. Parents are invited to come along at 4pm to enjoy the final dance performance.

Year 5 & 6 Nativity Play

Don't forget our Year 5 and 6s will be performing their Egyptian Nativity in the school hall on Thursday 10th December. Each child will be given two tickets each for home and we would really appreciate it if any unneeded tickets could be returned to school as soon as possible. Anyone requesting extra tickets is asked to let the class teacher know- names will be placed on a waiting list and drawn from a hat for any any tickets that have been returned. We are limited by law to the number of people we can allow into the hall, this number includes the children who are performing.

Doors open at 5.30pm, curtain raises at 6pm.
