The children, again, did us proud and enjoyed singing carols written especially for the performance. Listening to the live music and impressive pipe organ in such beautiful surroundings was a special experience. St Mary’s ‘Got Talent’ The show will take place during the morning of Wednesday 16th December (children only – sorry parents) but in order to raise money the School Council ask that each child brings in a donation for Asthma UK - they will then receive a GOLDEN TICKET to attend the ‘show’. Classes will be collecting for their golden tickets from Monday 14th December. Messages & reminders… Don’t forget – you are all invited to the last Fridays’ free Family Dance session! 3.15 – 4.00 in the hall Change to the advertised school lunch menu for December: instead of Cheese and Potato Pie, Macaroni Cheese will be served All children must have school PE kit on their peg at all times. PE is part of the statutory curriculum. All children must take part. They will ruin their school clothes if they do not change, apart from being unhygienic and totally inappropriate/unsafe. Please help to ensure they can take part…without resorting to wearing lost property! .
