This week we are all looking forward to our school Christmas play. On Tuesday, we will visit St. Joseph’s Care Home to perform for the residents there. On Thursday afternoon, we will perform ‘Hey Ewe!’ for our families in the Parish Church. The Parents’ Association has written to the North Pole so we are hoping that we might just have a special visitor sometime this week.

That, as many hands build a house,
So many hearts make a school.’
