The choir and musicians were very busy singing and bell ringing during December. We had many telephone calls requesting our children to sing and play to the elderly. They have been to the W.R.V.S. to various lunch clubs, Elizabeth Court, All Saints Church and next week to Rose Gardens Retirement Village. They sang and played very well and their audiences had a wonderful time.
Woodwork Wonder

By Aimee and Ellie
On Tuesday 1st December, Mr Tim Jones visited Class 6 at St James’ CE Primary School. He talked to the pupils about carpentry. This took place in the hall.
He explained about and displayed types of woodwork tools. Mr Jones also demonstrated how to fit together a fence.
After the demonstration, they all walked into the Sunshine Room. Mr Pritchard, class 6 teacher, showed the students and Mr Jones some photos of wood in piles and people chopping down trees. Then five children at a time walked back to the hall to take a turn at the activities. These include: Sawing, making a hole in a piece of wood, splitting a log in half and chipping bark off a split log. Even Mrs Darcy, Class 6 teacher, had a go!
While the children in the sunshine room were waiting for their turn, they received some pictures that they had to colour in autumn colours such as: red, orange, brown, yellow and dark green.
All in all, it was a fantastic afternoon and everybody enjoyed it!

Friendship

Last week Class 4 took part in a wonderful assembly about our current value of the month ‘Friendship’. The children looked at a play about an old lady called Rose, who knew lots of people and had one real friend. Rose learnt some difficult lessons about friendship. You cannot buy friends, with money or sweets and not everyone you know is your friend. She also learnt that she knew lots of people but she had only one really good friend and when you find out who your friends are, you should look after them!
