Merry Christmas to you all,

 

What an exciting end to the first term in Year 1! The children were absolutely amazing in their Christmas production of 'Angel Express.' They all thoroughly enjoyed dancing to and singing the songs and I’m sure you’ll agree they were all fantastic. Well done everyone!

 

The children had a wonderful time at their Christmas party on Tuesday. They were very excited to receive a special visit from Father Christmas.
