Happy Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Well, we’ve definitely felt the festive burn at PJS these past few days…so much has been happening!

We all felt very proud of our confident and articulate Year 4 children who performed a beautiful assembly, ‘Christmas Around the World,’ in front of a packed hall on Tuesday. This was a lovely opportunity for us to share another special memory together. Thank you, Miss Kingston and Mrs Canty for organising this performance and also managing to fit rehearsals into a few very demanding weeks. A special thank you to the Rev Sally Croft who led a special prayer at the end of the presentation to Years 4, 5 and 6.

Also, well done to our House Captains who organised and ran Christmas stalls to raise funds for their chosen charities today - their efforts and kindness have generated more funds for those in need. Thank you for your support with this venture.

Our whole school Christmas dinner was a great success - as is our tradition, we all ate together, dressed in festive jumpers whilst singing along to Christmas medleys. We were treated to a fabulous lunch with all the trimmings and we all had a super time! Thank you, Mrs Cardy, Miss Berris and Ms Sage, for managing to cater for us all! Extra bonus - we raised £120 for the Save the Children Christmas Jumper appeal. Thank you. And there’s more…our lovely office ladies also made festive hampers for our Christmas raffle and raised just over £400! Fabulous.

If that’s not enough, we also have our House Sing Off, Talent Show, Music Extravaganza and class Christmas parties on Monday and Tuesday - phew…so much fun and excitement to look forward to.

As this is my final newsletter of 2023, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff for their hard work over the last term - it’s been exceptionally eventful! I would also like to thank our governors and of course our parents for their ongoing support.

And of course, I wish our precious children and families a lovely Christmas and my very best wishes to you all for a happy and healthy 2024.
