Actual Snow
Everything had to stop when the snow started. There was nothing else that we could do other than put on our coats and get out and experience the cold. Lots of learning took place when questions required answers.
“Why is my hat wet?”
“Why do my fingers hurt?”
“How can I stop my fingers hurting?”
“Is it actual snow?”
“Can we make snow angels?” Sadly, there wasn’t quite enough snow to make angels, but we all had fun in the flurry of snow on Thursday Morning.
Chocolate Cake
Our theme for the term is Chocolate and we have chosen the most wonderful poem by Micheal Rosen as our starting point and inspiration. We have a Chocolate Shop and we have been creating bags of sweets and writing labels. We have made little chocolate buns, written shopping lists and worked on writing the verbs from the recipe. Please do pop in and admire the wonderful independent writing on our walls.
Christmas Disco
The whole school enjoyed the Christmas disco on Thursday night. There was some spectacular dancing, lots of snow and some very tasty hot dogs. I am sure you can see from the photographs, it was a very happy and fun time for all!
A visit to the Pantomime (oh yes it was!)
On Thursday, we all enjoyed a trip to Scarborough to watch the pantomime, Robin Hood. There was lots of great music and even some fireworks inside. It was lots of fun for everyone. At the end, Miss Stubbs went up on stage and danced to Baby Shark.

Up at St John’s
Our Whole School Nativity in Church was a huge success. You can see a display of pictures from this event at the back of the church. We will add pictures from Christingle after the service on Tuesday the 18th at 9.30am. You are welcome to join us for this beautiful event.
Party! Party! Party!
Our Christmas Party was such a wonderful thing. Mrs Roe did all the setting up and Explorers,Adventurers and Pioneers arrived and had a really good time together. Everyone really got into the party mood. The most impressive thing was how lovely all the children were. Everyone was honest when they were caught moving in statues or last to the floor in bumps.We had lots of fun standing on small pieces of newspaper and helping friends to stay in the game. Pass the Parcel was played with grace. We enjoyed a few games of Corners and Pin the Nose On The Snowman. Baby Shark was the most popular dance track. We finished the party by jumping on bubble wrap.
Straw and Order-Our Nativity
The whole school family went to church this afternoon to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas,together. It was wonderful. From Explorers all the way up to Leaders,we all had a part to play. The church was full and families were standing in the aisle. Both cast and audience enjoyed the festive fun and the singing at the end was magnificent. We will do it all again tomorrow.
It’s Christmas
The Christmas Fair was a wonderful event from start to finish. It raised over £560 for our school and a good time was had by all. Mrs Exelby worked jolly hard assisted by lots of other busy elves.
Santa enjoyed chatting to all the children and was delighted to hear how much they enjoyed mathematics and english.
The Leaders helped out on all the stalls and were effective and efficient and we couldn’t have managed without them.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this memorable event.
Happy Christmas Time
