Christmas Time – Special Time

Sometimes it is only when we take a breath and look back, that we see or admire the importance of a particular  occasion or a period of time in our calendar.

Christmas time is one such time and for so many reasons, whether it is as a community, as a family or as an individual. It is almost as though Christmas is as an excuse to do different things, to have fun and celebrate having fun and embrace the time for sharing with seemingly fewer constraints. Perhaps we should do it more!

As you scroll through the photographs and events in school, mentally collate which ones are great for the community, for the family or for the individual.

‘Meaning of Christmas’ assembly      Older & younger pupils read together   Alternative advent for community issues
