Christingle

On Thursday 15th December we held our evening Christingle event.  Children in year 5 and 6 made Christingles with their teachers and these were lit on the night.  The junior hall looked magical when the hall lights were switched off and the candles glowed in the dark.  Once again, the musicians from Shavington High School played carols and our own instrumentalists and singers took part.

This year the minister from St.Mark's Church in Shavington, Geoff Breffitt, joined us to explain the symbolism of the Christingle.  The evening was the ideal opportunity for Mr.Mitchell to announce the two charities that the school will be supporting this year: Age UK and Starlight.  The evening ended with mince pies and mulled wine.
