With Halloween over, the Christmas spirit is starting to edge it’s way into shops and classrooms alike.

We are delighted to be taking part in the design of our Christmas cards which act as both a keepsake for you the families and a fundraiser for the school.

To date all children have received a sample of their Christmas card which they are entitled to keep regardless of purchases.

The children have all received their sample Christmas cards and the deadline for return to order cards is:

Friday 13th November 2015

to ensure delivery in time for the writing of the Christmas cards.

Well done to all of the children for their fantastic designs. We could have opened our very own Hallmark shop!

Many thanks to all who supported our Christmas fundraiser.
