The PTFA would like you and your family and friends to come and join the festive fun at their annual Christmas Fair. Taking place next Thursday, 14th

December, the fun starts straight after school at 3:35pm; you can gain entry via Labracadabra @Ladybridge’s entrance (the Studio).

A visit to the fair will provide family entertainment and help raise funds to support your child’s education. Refreshments will be on sale, plus there

will be an array of stalls. These will include the chocolate and bottle tombola (with thanks to your support), raffles, various traditional games

like “Whack a Snowball” and “Lucky Dip”, a craft table, plus, Santa is coming! For just a small fee, children can visit him in his grotto and receive

a gift… don't forget your cameras so that you can take a photo of this special memory! I wish to thank the PTFA for organising this fantastic

event. I do hope you can join us. Mr Watson, Headteacher

Re-enacting History! Year 2 pupils

Class Focus: 4B

Last week, it was RE week in year 4. On Tuesday we went on a trip. We visited a mosque, a church and a temple to find out about the three different faiths: Islam, Christianity and Hinduism. On Friday, we learnt a little more about Hinduism, and Mrs Kathiriya kindly brought in lots of different things for the children to see.

Each week, we will focus on work undertaken by a different class. This week it’s the turn of 4B …
