Hanukkah

Today the children learnt about another religious festival of light, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. We played the game of dreidel, listened to the story behind the eight day festival and shared some potato latkes that Mr Farrington had cooked. Although there weren't quite enough to go round, the children decided they were very tasty and might want to cook some of their own at home.

If you able to join us for some carol singing in the hall on Friday afternoon starting at 3.00pm , you will be very welcome!

THS school DASP Music Concert

Many, many thanks to all those parents who came along last night and supported their children taking part in it. It was a great experience for all, watching the THS orchestra, hearing instruments being played like clarinets, the list goes on! A lot of POW children appeared in groups such as the First Schools orchestra, the DASP recorder group. Mr Gibson and I were very proud of all the children, lastly our children sang their hearts out with other DASP children to 'Midnight'. 

A super night, well done!

Christmas DVD ready for collection

The Christmas Performances DVD is ready for collection. Please collect from the office from today.

DT competition - WOW!

We were so impressed by the effort of all entries last week in the 'create a Christmas decoration for a tree'. 

It was truly impossible to select winners from each class as so many impressed us and made us smile for such innovation in using recycled items! 

Well done to the winners though, we hope you are enjoying your book?

Christmas performances, arrangements!

Well, we are nearly there! The children have been rehearsing superbly well and are excited about next week.

Audience will be able to enter the hall from 9.40am each day, please come through the main foyer at the front of the school. Audience will be entering via the door next to the ICT suite where we will be collecting in tickets.

                                                                    We look forward to seeing you all next week!
