KS1 Performance

I had the pleasure of watching our Year 1 and 2 children perform in the ‘Hopeless Camel’ Nativity performance today. I was hugely impressed with the quality of their singing, signing and the narrators confident speaking. They knew all their words!

I know that our parents were very impressed with the acting too. The camels were a real joy to watch as well as the wise men and King Herod! Our Year 1 children also danced beautifully. 

Many thanks to the whole KS1 team who spent a lot of time and effort into making the show such a success.

Here are some photos for you to enjoy.

Christmas Performances

It’s that time of year where Christmas really comes to life at Guildford Grove.

I wanted to say how impressed I was with our KS2 pupils last week with their wonderful singing, signing and narration of the Christmas story. It was fantastic to hear so many traditional Christmas carols but I also enjoyed the modern alternative version of ‘Jingle Bells’ from our after school KS2 choir. Our children sing so beautifully with such passion and it really is a joy to watch every year.

This week, we are all looking forward to our Foundation Stage and our Key Stage 1 Nativity performances. These are always very magical and I know our parents and carers really enjoy seeing their children on stage.

To finish off here is a letter I received from Mrs Dobbs, one of our long standing reading volunteers, following our KS2 Christmas Carol concert last week. As you can see, she was very impressed with our pupils!

Many thanks,

Jolly Jam Jars

I had the privilege to judge the winners of the Jolly Jam Jar competition. We had hundreds of entries and it was extremely tough to select winners.

I was so impressed with the time and energy that the children had clearly put into making them. They were all very creative and Christmassy!

Here are some photos of the winning jars.

Well done to everyone who brought in a jolly jam jar and don’t forget to come to our Christmas Fayre tonight where you could win one!

Many thanks,
