The night of Wednesday 15th December was a 'magical evening' for the children, staff and families who came to the outdoor 'Carols around the Tree' event.

Mrs Capstick, Shannon and Gary were like little elves preparing the sunshelter and tree with twinkling fairy lights in preparation for the event, and it looked wonderful in the dark!

Armed with their torches the children sang Christmas songs and carols to their families on the yard, expertly led by Mrs. Idle!  The carols and songs told the Christmas story, concluding with our youngest children singing songs from their nativity.

Thank you to all of the families who attended, it was very special, and we have had lots of positive feedback and requests for this to become an annual event - there's even talk of mulled wine and mince pies!

We concluded our eventful and exciting Christmassy week up at St. Michael's Church!

Mrs. Idle led the service with carols and Christmas songs, sang beautifully by our staff and children - the acoustics in St. Michael's always makes our singing sound even better!

The Worship Councillors shared prayers and poems too:

Arthur started the service with the school prayer,

Jacob W read a poem about Jesus' Birthday,

Orlagh and Bella M read a poem together called 'The Colours of Christmas',

Damon read a Christmas prayer that reminded us of 'the reason for the season',

Darrenlee concluded the service with our 'end of week prayer'!

It was a lovely way to wind down our Christmas week!
