Have most wonderful Christmas!
I can not believe we are at the end of our first term! The children have been absolutely wonderful this week! The dinner hall has been full of festive cheer, yet calm and reflective. On Wednesday, we all joined together to feast on a delightful Christmas dinner. Thank you so much to the kitchen and lunchtime team for all your hard work in making this possible.
After the New Year, the Lunchtime Blog will be going live every half term, teachers will be celebrating the weekly Role Models and Jacqui’s Marvelous Manners on their class blog.
We would like to thank and say a fond farewell to the lovely Mrs Duxbury, who has been part of the kitchen team. It has been a pleasure to work with you and we wish you all the very best in your new adventure. We will miss you!
Wishing you a Happy and Holy Christmas
God Bless
