On Wednesday evening I went to the Cullompton Community College Christmas Market and Food Fair. The event was fabulously well attended and a great success. Very well done to Ruth Squires and the other members of the Cullompton School PTFA who I know worked very hard in organising and promoting this event.Thursday morning we all woke up to snow and although it looked beautiful it caused the usual chaos on the roads. The children from the outer villages enjoyed the snow at home as all the buses were cancelled. Myself and some other staff left at lunch time because we live in remote locations where access can be difficult. I haven't been in since! The lanes are sheer ice and even today there has been no change.
Meanwhile in school last week those who made it were busy getting ready for the school plays and making scenery and props. The children have also been making Christmas Wreaths as part of the Outdoor Learning Programme.
They had intended to sell them at the Christmas Cracker Fayre but sadly we had to postpone the evening because of the weather conditions. We have managed to book another date which will be confirmed on Monday. Although the KSA were very disappointed I hope that many of you enjoyed the Turkeys that had been already prepared. The staff and myself really appreciate all the effort that the KSA put in and hope that you will support them by coming to the rearranged Christmas Cracker Fayre if you can.
Lots happening next week: Foundation and KS1 Nativity, KS2 visit to the theatre to see 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', and the KS2 performances of the Peace Child.
