Operation Christmas Child

Hi all

Last Year as a school we sent 64 Shoe Boxes to children around the World that may not otherwise have received a Christmas Gift.

http://www.operationchristmaschild.org.uk/ 

Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated by those that receive these shoeboxes.

We will be holding another Interhouse competition to see who can produce the most shoeboxes. Pryderi won last year but only Talesin were a very close second.

All shoeboxes must be with Miss Squires by Monday the 26th November. You must submit them via your TFL and Head of House in order to have them accredited to your house.

Your TFL's have guidance leaflets on what to include or not include. Each box also needs £2-50 so any monetary donations are welcome too. In the past houses have all collected any loose change and combined it to make a donation.

Please remember your efforts here could be the difference to someone waking up on Christmas morning to a gift or not.

Many thanks in advance to you all.
Miss Squires

In addition to doing a good deed you can earn some House Points, something we are in need of. Every little bit helps.

Mr H

School Choir

This week choir rehearsals will be for the choir performing in Awards Evening (not Grease rehearsals).  

KS4 - Tuesday Lunchtime

KS3 - Wednesday Lunchtime (due to ARD day)

We are going to perform 'Sing' by Gary Barlow & the Commonwealth Band so I need lots of pupils to take part. Awards evening is on Thursday 8th November and pupils will receive an EMA for taking part.  

I have included a link to a karaoke version of the song. It will sound amazing if lots of pupils take part :)
