ISSUE: T2W7 /
The children have enjoyed some wonderful celebrations as part of the festive Season: Carol singing at Wells Cathedral, the APT Christmas Fayre, Carol Singing at The Glen, Christingle making, a visit from Santa, Christmas lunch and parties. The children are full of excitement and anticipation for their Christmas break.
Today the children and staff visited St Peter’s Church for their Christmas Service. The service marked the end of term and the start of the Christian holiday. It was wonderful to see so many of you there celebrating with the children at this special time.
Yesterday everybody enjoyed the festivities of a whole school Christmas Lunch and the classroom Christmas parties. The children were extremely excited and enthusiastic as they all had the chance to eat together.
All of the staff would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year, we hope that you enjoy the festive season and look forward to seeing you again on Monday 4 January 2016.
Best Wishes from Evercreech CofE Primary School /
