Dear Parents / Carers,
Year six have had a super week this week with days in the woods and a parliamentary visitor today. Nigel Adams called in to visit the children as part of their work on Parliament week. He answered some very mature and interesting questions and explained his views on the local housing plan and Brexit in a very child friendly way.
The start of Advent was marked today with baubles and plenty of glitter as we start to prepare for the coming of Christmas. Rehearsals for plays are in full swing along with preparations for the school fair. Let us know if you are able to help out.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Karen Williams

Christmas at St Mary's
Dear Everyone,
We are sending you this letter from St. Mary’s to invite you to all of our Christmas celebrations and to invite all of the children in school to be part of a choir that will perform at our Contemporary Carol Service on Sunday 23rd December at 7.00pm. See over the page for details of all of our Christmas services.
Choir
This year, we would like to set up a choir, made up of children from school. At most of our Christmas services, we will be singing Angels Singing Glory in the Highest, a brilliant modern carol. As many of our congregation won’t know the carol, any children who attend any services can help to lead the singing. At the Contemporary Carol Service on Sunday 23rd December at 7.00pm, the choir will perform the carol.
The choir is open to any child who would like to perform and who is available to come to the Contemporary Carol Service. It will be necessary for an adult to attend the Carol Service and be responsible for their child as we will not be able to supervise them. All rehearsals will take place during the school day.
If your child would like to be in the choir, please either sign up on the sheet at the school office or e-mail revsimonbiddlestone@hotmail.com (making sure you say your child’s name and the class they’re in).
Everyone at St. Mary’s is looking forward to seeing you over the Christmas period and we are excited to hear the choir singing.
God bless,
Rev Simon Biddlestone
