I am pleased to be able to pass on the following details regarding our eagerly awaited approach to Christmas.  Please note that these dates could be subject to change – information on any amendments will be shared as soon as possible…

Riding Lights Christmas Performance – I would like to thank Elvington’s PTA for kindly covering the cost of this performance on Monday 28^th November.

Carols around the Tree – You are welcome to join us at 10am on Thursday 1^st December.  Each class will enter the hall and place their handmade decoration on our tree.  We will then sing a number of carols, which you will be more welcome to join in with.

Christmas Post – Children are welcome to bring Christmas Cards into School from Thursday 1^st December.  Could you please ensure that envelopes clearly show the recipient’s full name and class; this will help us to deliver cards efficiently.  Our postal service will close on Wednesday 14^th December.

Lights, Camel, Action, 2! – Key Stage 1 parents/carers, please see the email sent on Monday 14^th November, for additional details.

Christmas Lunch – On Tuesday 13^th December our kitchen team will be cooking a Christmas lunch for the children to enjoy. This will also be Christmas Jumper Day and children are invited to wear a Christmas jumper. Children are invited to wear a Christmas jumper (or a bright coloured/sparkly top). Apart from the aforementioned, children should wear normal school uniform. There will be no donations collected within school, however, those of you wishing to make a donation could visit www.christmasjumperday.org.

Elvington’s Christmas Service at Holy Trinity Church – You are welcome to join us at 9:45am for our Christmas Service on Wednesday 14^th December.

PTA Christmas Disco – This event will take place in the School Hall on Wednesday 14^th December; more details to follow…

Christmas Parties – On Thursday 15^th December, the children are invited to come to school wearing party clothes or Christmas jumpers.  They will have party games and other fun activities – in a bid to reduce the sharing of food (allergies), we ask that each child bring their own personal party plate.  Perhaps a plastic or paper plate (ideally recyclable or reusable) containing a small savoury snack and a sweet treat, or piece of fruit along with a drink (not fizzy).  Please remember we are a nut free school.
