The children took part in a ‘decorate a snowflake’ competition for Maple Leaf Lodge nursing home this term. Three of our children were placed first, second and third out of the four schools that entered. They were each presented with a selection box. Well done!

 

In light of the recent tragedies in the news please follow the link and share with your children the RLSS advice on water safety in winter.

On Wednesday 14th December we shall be holding a Christmas Service at St Sebastian’s Church.

We would like to invite all parents/carers to join us in this celebration. The service will start at 2.00pm, finishing at approximately 3.00pm.

Children will return to school after the service ready to be collected as usual.

We hope to see many of you there.

Please find attached an information leaflet for parents and carers with regards to Strep A. Please be assured that this leaflet is for information only and that we have not had any confirmed cases in school.

Further information on scarlet fever is available on the NHS website.
More information on strep A infections, including both scarlet fever and iGas, is available on the UKHSA website.

This year our Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day will take place on Friday 9th December.

We will also be taking part in a 'Santa Dash' on this day, where classes will take turns to run various routes in the playground listening to Christmas music, and taking part in challenges set by our 'Reindeers'.

This will be a non uniform day but we would encourage all children to wear a Christmas Jumper for a small donation to show support for 'Save the Children'

As we will be running outside, could children please wear comfortable clothes and trainers

Here at St Sebastian's CE Primary School, we are all overwhelmed by the donations for our Operation Christmas Child boxes. They are taking over our reception area as there are so many which is fantastic.

Thank you to all who have supported this charity.

We have reviewed our Breakfast Club arrangements and have changed how the children will go into club.

The main gates will no longer be open for Breakfast Club.

Please bring your child/ren in via the main office.

Upon arrival if there is no one in the office please ring the bell (attached to the frame near the office window) and wait for a member of staff to arrive.

It is really important that parents/carers wait with the children until a member of staff arrives. The school cannot take any responsibility for the children until they are greeted by staff.

Many thanks
