Christmas Concert 2024 - Tuesday 10th December
“Bethlehem Bake-Off”
Monday 9th at 1.30pm- Dress Rehearsal
(ONLY for younger siblings/ buggies/ prams)
Tuesday 10th December at 9.30am and 1.30pm
Doors open at 9.20am and 1.20pm
(Adults only/ No children under 4yrs please)
Please complete the paper slip that will be sent home with your child tomorrow, indicating how many tickets you require and for which performance. Only two tickets per family will be allocated initially due to a limit on hall space. Depending on availability, a maximum of 2 extra tickets will be allocated per family.
Younger siblings to ONLY attend the Dress Rehearsal on Monday please!
Due to past experience performances have been severely disrupted with unsettled younger siblings.
This disturbs the children who are performing and distracts the staff who have worked hard to prepare for the performance, it also prevents adults from enjoying watching their own children.
Therefore, during the two performances on Tuesday, younger siblings will not be admitted.
As a solution, if you have a younger child, you are invited to come and watch the final Dress Rehearsal on Monday 9th December at 1.30pm. As there will be better availability of space in the hall, your younger child can remain in their pushchair/pram. Please ensure you complete the slip to get your tickets.
Please return by MONDAY 2nd DECEMBER.
(Further tickets will be released on Thursday 5th December, if available)
Please do not request tickets via email.
Physical tickets will be issued after Monday 2nd December and sent home with your child.
Thank you.

On Thursday 28th November
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
will take part in a presentation from
Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance crew members.
The local air ambulance service gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. The helicopter can fly at top speeds of 185mph and carries the very latest lifesaving equipment necessary for the missions they attend.
The operations team is supported by Critical Care Cars, which provide valuable backup for incidents close to the helicopter base, when the weather makes it too dangerous to fly. They also enable our doctors and critical care paramedics to run a night car service to reach those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
In support of this great charity, we will be holding a
'Wear Something Yellow' day.
Yellow is a signature colour for the Local Air Ambulance.

Safe and Active Schools Programme provided by WCC Road Safety Education Team
Our school has signed up to the Safe and Active Schools Programme 2024-2025. As part of the programme all children will be receiving age-appropriate road safety sessions, and we will also be participating in and promoting active travel.
We recognise how important messaging is for our children. Your children copy your actions, and your behaviour serves as a powerful role model. We would like to ask all our families to model the safest behaviours near the road for children to copy and make good choices around travelling actively on the school run.
We will be sharing messages and ideas from the Safe and Active Schools team and further information about the children’s road safety learning in school throughout the year.
For further information about road safety and active travel you can follow or contact the road safety education team.
