The busyness of Christmas has definitely started now. Tuesday saw our Year 1 performance, Wednesday was the Reception Nativity and Thursday was the Christmas service.

What a fantastic start our amazing Reception children have made to school and what a fabulous job our year 6 buddies are doing. The buddy/ reception relationship is the start of a life long friendship. So many of our older children talk fondly of their buddy and how they still see each other around Whaley Bridge.
