Christmas tree is - UP!! Thank you to Neil & Rachel Townley of Clayton Fold Farm in Kettleshulme for providing our lovely tree.

It's back - first of the season - SNOW!

The star from the inside...

It gets ever closer ...

And the star from the outside...

The children took their Nativity around the village yesterday. The video is now on the school's website - please have a look. It will be distributed to parents next week.

It's great that so many people have viewed the nativity video.

What does this week bring ?Parties, Christmas lunch and the end of a very long term. Chin up, nearly there.

Raffle to be drawn on Wednesday 16th. Last chance to buy tickets - call the school.

Today starts my last week as the headteacher of this wonderful school. After 13+ years it is time to put myself outside my comfort zone and do something else. New head, new ideas - come and join us - call the school.

Thank you - cake from the clerk to the governors. I should leave more often. Just for the record - very lemony and delicious! (No, I just had one piece).

Christmas lunch in school today. A little strange not having all the children together at the same time - but a lovely time nevertheless.

The cake below is a little smaller every day.

Out early this morning, just seeing first light.

Non uniform day on Friday. Christmas jumpers can be worn. I will dig out the polar bear shirt - just the thing!

Great comments about the Nativity video - will mention to the new head that it could be even bigger and better next year!! Perhaps there would be snow on the ground - added atmosphere. Always good to plant the seed...

The last day of one adventure always passes into the first day of a new adventure. Living the growth mindset that we promote in school.

Children don't believe I have the odd snooze in the office! This time in the polar bear shirt.
