Whilst some children have done their Christmas designs in school, we are aware that some are isolating and have not had the chance.
If they would like to do a design, please print off the blank design sheet below (A4 size) and ask your child to get creative! There is also an ideas sheet and useful things to remember/hints to help.
Once completed please place your child’s design sheet in the green drop box at the external school foyer (open at drop off and pick up only) by Monday 19th October 2020 so we can quarantine the designs and send them all for scanning.
If you can’t print off the sheet, there are blank copies in the drop box. Please email [email protected] if you have any queries and we will do our best to help

A fantastic start for our youngest pupils
Date: 26th Sep 2020 @ 5:45pm
The Reception team are incredibly proud of how the new starters have settled into school life. The children have been busy learning about 'nocturnal animals', reading lots of 'Percy the Park Keeper' stories, going on a listening walk and plenty of play. The children love playing with the mud kitchen, being on the bikes and making the most of the autumn sunshine.
Thank you so much Reception parents and carers who have supported us to settle your children into their new daily routine.
Hopefully, you are all logged into 'Tapestry' now and are able to view pictures of your children and what they get up to at school.
We will keep you updated with more pictures soon on the 'Newsfeed'.
