Christmas is Coming!

Christmas Is Coming!

Well done to all of the Key Stage 2 children and staff who performed their singing on St James' Church steps at the
Big Switch On last Friday evening – it was wonderful to see your songs make everyone smile! You were great
ambassodars for school, thank you.

Our Wonderful Worship Leads led worship for the whole school on Wednesday morning; they shared the parable of
The Lost Sheep and re-enacted the story reminding everyone that everyone is important and cared for. They also
led everyone in singing The Good Shepherd. Thank you to Mrs Burgess and our Wonderful Worship Leads for working
so hard preparing for this special worship.
