Important Information to ShareTickets for performances
As per the recent weekly news our Christmas Performances are on Tuesday 17th December. The performances will be at 2 different times.
Due to number restrictions in the hall, we are offering families 2 tickets per family, per performance (2 afternoon, 2 evening) in the first instance. (If you have children in different key stages you will be offered 2 per key stage). (older siblings who attend and require a seat do count for a ticket, younger children can sit on a lap).
If you do not want both, or do not need tickets for a performance, please let us know via the survey, and please also indicate if you would be interested in extra tickets if they become available. The survey will be available to complete from 3pm today and will close at 1pm on Tuesday 10th December. Confirmation of tickets alliocated will be advised on Friday 13th December.
As per the weekly news, there will be a creche available for school children who need to wait for the other key stage performance. Please complete the survey as necessary so we know numbers.

Competition Winners
Last term, as part of Tuesday after school club, the children had the option to take part in a competition run by Young Artists. The children were asked to draw their perfect pet, whether that be a real life pet or an imaginary one. Selected pictures would be chosen to to be published in the 'Perfect Pets' book. Eight children entered and Mrs Fisher was thrilled to announce today that all eight children's pictures were chosen for publication. Well done to Mario, Ace, Ben Sophia, Safire, Eliza Emilia and Austin. The children were told the exciting news at lunchtime today and were awarded a certificate. The children will be bringing home a letter today as each child needs permission from parents for their artwork to be published. The deadline is 6th December. Congratulations to all the children and we will wait to see the book which will be published in January.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
