Christmas excitement is building in our school and, this week, we put up our Christmas tree and other decorations. Our youngest pupil topped our Christmas tree with our angel and then we gathered around to sing some Christmas songs. We just love Christmas and we’re being very careful to be ‘as good as gold’.

We had a little snow recently and though it was very cold, we had fun going outdoors and throwing the odd ‘icy’ snowball. Hopefully, we’ll get a little more snow later this year so that we can get really into the business of throwing snowballs and making snowmen!

‘Halloween Dress Up’ was lots of fun again this year as we all got very creative with our costumes. We, excitedly, greeted all our friends as they arrived in the morning and sometimes we had difficulty knowing who was behind the masked face. We really love Halloween!

After a summer of relatively poor weather, we were thrilled to see a little sunny weather come our way in mid-September, and to celebrate, we were treated to a delicious ice-cream from the ice-cream van. Hopefully, the sunny weather will continue and we’ll get the chance to enjoy lots more ice-cream.
