YEAR 5 CHRISTMAS SERVICE OUTFIT LIST:
Dear Parents,
This is the Year 5 Christmas Service outfit list. Your child has been told which part they are in our service so they will be able to let you know what outfit they need.
Children will need to come to school wearing their outfit on the day of the Church Service on Tuesday 16th December. They will need to bring their school uniform in a separate bag so that they can change back when we get back to school afterwards. We will use one year 5 classroom for boys to change and one year 5 classroom for girls to change. Any children wanting to change privately, will be able to do so.
Kind regards,
Mrs Stow and Mrs Marlow

YEAR 5 CHRISTMAS MAKING AFTERNOON
Christmas Making afternoon will start at 1:15pm to 3:15pm. Ideally, parent helpers will stay all afternoon, but if not then sessions will be split into 1:15-2:15 and 2:15-3:15 sessions.
Parent helpers need current DBS.
It would be great if we could have 4-5 parent helpers per class.
Could we ask that children start bringing in empty pringle tubes (or imitation variety) for one of the activities. We are needing one per child but if some families can bring in more, that would be great!
If anyone can donate any Christmas decorations to decorate our classrooms and our little classroom Christmas trees with, then that would also be amazing!
Kind Regards
Mrs Marlow and Mrs Stow
