The children have worked really hard in their Christmas performances. It was lovely to hear the variety of songs and poems and to see the reaction from our adults watching. We also welcomed Green Pastures residents to our performance. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas.

Thank you to all of our school community for supporting PTA events over the past year. With the money raised we have been able to purchase some wonderful sensory chimes for our garden area. Without the hard work of members of the PTA this would not be possible-so thank you all!
