Dear parents / carers,
We are now on the Christmas countdown, and we wanted to let you know of how we intend to celebrate Christmas this year. It has been a while since we were able to plan anything and even though we are unsure of what the situation with Covid will be by the end of term, we wanted to share with you our plans.
Our Basecamp at the area at the front of school will be turned into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ experience. We have asked the elves to start planning this wonderful event!
We will be inviting one class at a time to visit the Winter Wonderland experience and each child will be allowed to invite one adult to accompany them – this may be any adult you would like to attend. We know that some parents will be disappointed as only one adult can attend per child, but we have to play it as safely as we can in order to protect children and staff as we approach the Christmas holiday. Please can we ask that you stick to one adult so that we can manage numbers safely. The experience will last approximately one hour, with the exception of our Nursery classes, which will be approximately half an hour. Activities will include carol singing and an activity which you and your child can share. There will be a small gift for every child in the class. We will be offering hot chocolate and a festive treat to all who attend and only ask that you bring your own mug for your and your child (we are doing our bit for the environment!) and make a donation which this year is going towards purchases for the All Nations Community Grocery communitygrocery.org.uk/telford
On the day of the experience, children will be invited to come to school in their Christmas jumpers / hats – you are more than welcome to get into the spirit too!
The dates and times for each class are as follows –
Reception Mrs Evans and Mrs Sturrock – Monday 6th December at 9.15am

Nursery will be taking part in this event along with the school, but dates and times will be advertised separately on the nursery website page.
We will be watching the weather forecast closely and we hope that the weather is on our side! Likewise, we will be monitoring the situation with regards to covid and following all recommended guidance. Should we need to make any changes, we will try to let you know as soon as possible.
We hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating Christmas this year.
Kind regards
Miss Cook
