Iron Acton School Christmas newsletter

Friday 11^th - Mufti day come in your own clothes and bring a tombola prize in. Saturday 12^th - I hope you are all coming to the Christmas fair – helpers are needed and a rota will be coming round next week.

Play ticket requests went out this week. As some of the children are shy and have quiet voices we ask that only adults come to the evening performances. Younger siblings are very welcome to come to the dress rehearsal on Friday 11^th December at 2p.m. tickets will be allocated on Tuesday 8^th December.

We need lots of mince pies for the Christmas Fair and the Nativity plays. All offers welcome.

Tuesday 8^th- Years 5 and 6 will be going to Clifton Cathedral for the annual Carol concert. BBC Radio Bristol will be recording the service to broadcast over Christmas.

Xmas dinner will be served to the pupils on Thursday 17^th December, you will have received a letter with details on – this means there will be a change of menu Wednesday 16^th December will be chicken casserole or vegetarian sausages.

The Christmas post box will be going up on Monday – please ensure the cards are addresses with first name, surname and class number to help the sorters.

We are trying to strengthen the church - school links and are working with the church on two new initiatives:-

Firstly, the church is sending a Nativity set around different locations in the Parish. This is a Mexican tradition to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas. It will be in school on Monday 7^th December. On Christmas Eve there will be a display in church to show all of the different locations where the Nativity set have been.

Secondly, the pupils have been invited to sing two carols at the Christingle service in St James the Less church at 4pm on Sunday13th December. It would be great if as many class 3 pupils as possible were there.
