1. Primary Newsletter – Friday 8th December 2017
CHRISTMAS
Now that we are in the first week of Advent, preparations for Christmas are well and truly underway. The sound of the children singing Christmas songs around the school is a real delight to hear. Please see below details of upcoming Christmas events at St Matthew Academy primary.
All of the primary Christmas performances listed above will be held in the drama studio. For the Year 2 Nativity and Year 3 – 6 Carol concert, please arrive at 1.50pm at the main entrance. You will be escorted to the drama studio to be seated.
The Reception and Year 1 concert is being held in the morning, so we will be providing mince pies and teas and coffees if you would prefer to wait in school after you drop your child. Please assemble outside the primary gate once you have dropped your child, and you will be escorted to the drama studio.
