Operation Christmas Child
Thu 12 Nov 2015Operation Christmas Child - Christmas Shoe Boxes – distributed by the charity Samaritan’s Purse
Every year parents donate a Christmas Shoe box to the charity Samaritan’s Purse, who run Operation Christmas Child. They make a present for a boy or girl and fill a shoe box with gifts. These boxes are then collected by our local representative Mr Jimmy Turnbull and taken to the distribution point, where they will be sent on to children abroad who would not otherwise receive anything at Christmas.

Remembrance Day 2015
Thu 12 Nov 2015Remembrance Day Wednesday 11th November 2015
The children from Years 3 and 4 have been selling poppies in school on behalf of the Royal British Legion since we returned from half term. We have learned about the wars and conflicts that have happened and how millions of men and women have lost their lives fighting in them. The children have spent time thinking about their sacrifice and what it means to the people they leave behind.
On Wednesday 11th November at 11.00am the whole school and staff assembled in the small hall in school. We listened to the chimes of Big Ben at 11.00am and observed the two minutes silence in remembrance of those who had died, in conflict, all around the world.
We lit a candle and listened to the Last Post played for us by our trumpet tutor Mr Ron Creasey after the two minute silence.
