Christmas is coming!

 

Turkey lunch today ... crackers and Christmas hats!

This year’s Mayoral Christmas Card will feature designs by six children from across the Borough.

 

We are delighted that three of the children are from Stanley.

 

Congratulations and very well done to:

 

Winner: Hannah C-H in 3B, whose design is one of three which will be printed on the Mayor's official Christmas cards.

Runners-up: Lucas M in Maple and Joshua J in 5V whose designs will feature on the reverse of the cards.

 

The six children and their families enjoyed a tea party with the by the Mayor of Richmond, Councillor Lisa Blakemore at York House on Monday 11 December.

As part of their “Tribal Tales” Stone Age to Iron Age project, Year 3 visited Butser Ancient Farm in Waterlooville on Tuesday 5 December.

 

The children learnt about life in ancient times and had Archaeology, Flint wall building, Wattling and Pottery activities during the day. They also made some copper jewellery and experienced life in an ancient round house sat round a fire … an indoor bonfire and very smokey!

A fabulously festive time was had by all at the Christmas Bazaar on Sunday 3 December. A whopping £6,100 was raised, which will be spent on new gym and sports equipment. A big Thank You to everyone who helped organise, ran stalls, donated prizes, bought raffle tickets, listened to the music, ate, drank, tidied up, and generally supported our school by just being there.
