Christmas Party Week

This week we had a Christmas Carol Service for the whole school on Tuesday. The Year 3 classes contributed a poem and a song; Year 4 sang and played a Christmas Calypso and Year 5 read a Christmas Haiku. Everyone joined in the carols.

On Wednesday Years 5 and 6 had their Christmas Party and Years 3 and 4 had theirs on Thursday afternoon. There were party games and dancing in the hall and the parties finished a party tea just before "home-time".

Christmas concert

The theme of our Christmas concert this year was Christmas around the World.

As part of the concert, the choir and Year 5 and 6 sang Christmas songs and carols from different parts of the world. This included songs from India, China and Central America as well as Europe and we sang in French, Spanish and German. We also learned how to "sign" the first verse of Silent Night in British Sign Language.

In between the songs, Year 6 narrators explained about different Christmas celebrations in different parts of the world. This included Christmas decorations in China and India, Christmas food and hospitality in Africa, Christmas in Hawaii and Christmas carols in Europe.
