Thank you to all who came to see our Nativity Play today. Once again, you came in great numbers. A special well done to the children in 4th class who told the story of Christmas so well. They were beautifully accompanied by the choir and other classes singing Christmas hymns. A lot of hard work went into preparing for today, we really hope you enjoyed the show.

 

We will close tomorrow (22nd December) for the Christmas holidays. The infants will go home @ 12:05pm and 1st-6th @ 12:15pm. 

 

Well done to all of the children and their teachers for a great term's work. A special 'thank you' to you, the parents & guardians, who supported us along the way. We are looking forward to picking up where we left off in January.
