A huge thank you to all of the families who donated to our reverse advent calendar over the last few weeks. As a school community we were able to give Fr Jim an amazing number of parcels to take to the food bank. These will be distributed to those who need them most in time for Christmas.

In our role as ‘Missio Champions’, P4 have been spreading some Christmas joy in our school and parish community.
We designed and created beautiful Christmas cards and letters for Fr Jim and the parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. We hope that they enjoy reading them, we have had lots of fun making them.
We wish you all a prayerful and restful holiday time as well as a Happy New Year.
We look forward to welcoming our children back to school on Monday 8th January at 9am.
Breakfast club will return on this day at 8.15am for those that access this.

Primary 4 have been really enjoying their visits to Crossgates.
Today, we presented the residents and staff with an Advent wreath. During a previous visit the children, residents and staff designed handprints, we used these to create a joint Advent Wreath to remind everyone of the lovely friendships that we have built with our new Crossgates friends. We have one in our classroom and there is now one displayed in Crossgates. 🎄
Today we enjoyed making Christmas themed play-doh creations. We shared stories and had lots of fun and laughter with our new friends.
