There was a lovely festive atmosphere in the hall on Friday after school at our annual Christmas Fayre. The children were very excited to see Father Christmas and families were able to buy early Christmas presents at a variety of stalls, have a go on the tombola, play games and take part in art activities as well as treating themselves to a turkey or brie and cranberry roll! Thank you to the Friends for organising this event and to everyone who supported the Christmas Fayre this year.
This morning our Year 4 class took part in the Armistice Day Service at Pershore Abbey together with children from other local schools. The children laid a wreath at the end of the Service before returning to school to observe a one minute silence with the whole school on the playground.
We were very pleased that Reverend Claire was also able to lead our school assembly this afternoon.
