A big thank you to all parents / carers who came along to support the children’s Christmas concerts this week. I am sure you will agree with me that all of the children sang brilliantly and read and acted like professionals. We hope that you enjoyed watching the concerts as much as we did. Well done to all pupils and staff involved.

Thank you for your generosity both at our concerts and during farm visits, we have collected a staggering £1102 which we are going to put towards the running cost of our wonderful farm. Thank you- I can’ even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the Harold Hill community spirit.

Reception Stars perform their wriggly nativity

Wow what amazing talent we have in our Reception classes.Our children were absolutely fabulous performing in their first real school play.Every child took their part very seriously.The stars twinkled brightly,the angels looked angelic,the shepherds controlled their noisy sheep and the kings walked proudly to the stable.Each class sang their song beautifully and performed their actions to perfection.
`We are very tired` said Levi the donkey after he had walked Mary and Joseph all the way to Bethlehem.
`No room ` said Jacob the innkeeper
`We are very excited` said the whole cast and so were we to see such a lovely Christmas production.
Thank you to all the parents for sending in clothes and coming along to watch the children.We know the children enjoyed performing for you.
