Yesterday we all enjoyed our Christmas parties. We were very excited as we arrived in our party clothes. We played lots of games and did rather a lot of dancing!
Afterwards we had party food in our classrooms and more music. Mrs Nicholls started a Conga in Year 5 and this travelled all the way around school to the other classrooms. The children were then very fortunate to be given a Christmas present and KS1 had theirs hand delivered by Father Christmas. We all had a fantastic time.
We would like to wish all our children, parents & grandparents a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
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.
Rehearsals are well underway for our Reception, Year1 and Year 2 Nativity 'Prickly Hay'. It is the story of Sam, a stable boy, who thinks he has a thankless and worthless job keeping the stable clean and the hay fresh for all the animals. No one seems to notice his hard work, and his ever-faithful friend, Shrew, tries to keep his spirits up, but Sam is finding it hard to feel important at all. That is until Sam receives some very special visitors to his stable!.....
Sam is played by Archie, Arthur is his trusting friend Shrew, Abigail and Max take on the roles of Mary and Joseph in this twist on the Nativity story.
