Christmas Candy Canes

In assembly this morning, Rev'd Wall explained to the children about what the different parts of a candy cane represent:

• it is shaped like a letter 'J' to remind us about Jesus;
• it is shaped like a shepherd's crook which can be found in the nativity story;
• the white candy represents the purity of Jesus - he never sinned and always helped people in need;
• the red stripes represents God's love of everybody.

As a Christmas gift, Rev'd Wall also kindly gave every child their own candy came to take home to decorate their tree with and to eat only on Christmas Day.

Year 5 Pumps Letter

Dear Parents and Carers

Please can I remind you all that the winter season is well and truly here, therefore it is essential that pupils have a spare pair of pumps or indoor trainers to wear in school.

Thos pupils that do not have a pair of pump or trainers to wear in school pose a serious health and safety risk when moving around the building.

Kindest regards, 

Mr Barnes
