The children worked hard making cards, hats and cakes in preparation for this exciting afternoon. The highlight was seeing the children standing on the stage wearing their Christmas jumpers and hats singing a lively selection of Christmas songs. It was magical seeing so many proud grown- ups watching their children perform with such confdence! Of course the Year R children wrote a very important letter to Father Christmas. The staff at the Co-op and Post Offce provided a fabulous welcome for the children as theyeach bought a stamp for their letters. Postman Barrie then visited school in his post van decorated in true Christmas style! He collected all the children’s letters as well as providing each child with a gift. A perfect village community occasion! 6 7 We are delighted to extend this exclusive ofer We areto delighted you to come to extend and enjoy this exclusivelunch at ofer to Bailiyou tofscourt come andHotel, enjoy Climping lunch at Bailifscourt Hotel, Climping Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch forEnjoy just a £15 delicious in our two-course Hotel restaurant lunch for just £15Valid in until ourFriday 29th Hotel March 2019 restaurant This voucher entitles Validyou to a untiltwo course Friday lunch for29th £15 March per person, 2019 or a three course lunch for £18 per person from our daily lunch menu and is valid until Friday 29th March 2019, Monday to Friday.
