We were delighted to attend the crib unveiling and Christmas tree lighting in the village green on Friday 9th December. It was a very cold afternoon but the Christmas spirit was very much in evidence as the children sang Jingle Bells and Silent Night. As a sign of friendship to our Ukrainian pupils we sang a verse of Silent Night in Ukrainian.

Some pupils from 6th Class attended the launch of the Be Safe Be Seen winter road safety campaign. They met representatives from the emergency services and the seatbelt sheriff himself!
