News from The Bythams Primary School

Reproduced from The Glenside News - February 2003

" Christmas seems a distant memory now, but during last half term we had a lot of fun leading up to it.

The children and staff took part in a Sponsored Football Skills Challenge, with UMBRO. £612 was raised - half of this will go to UMBRO charities and half will stay in school to be spent on sports equipment. Certificates and signed photographs of Michael Owen were given out and I am sure one or two have found their way onto bedroom walls by now.

December was, of course, taken up with getting ready for Christmas. Our Key Stage 1 Children (4 to 7 year olds) presented a traditional Nativity, which they performed three times to families and invited guests. They all did extremely well despite being very tired and fighting off bugs that were knocking us all for six!

The Key Stage 2 Children (8-11) performed a Carol Concert in the Infants playground one evening. The children sang traditional Christmas Carols from england, Germany and Poland, as well as what has become a modern 'carol' from Slade and 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' with a head lice theme!!

Thank you to everyone who attended the productions.
The highlight of the term for the children, and staff, were our visits to Newark's Pantomine and our Christmas Party. The whole school went to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - "oh no you didn't", "oh yes we did"! With lots of audience participation some were quite hoarse when we got back to school.

Thanks to the Friends of the Bythams School (FOBS) the children had a wonderful party lunch on Party Day, after which they spent the afternoon pplaying games and partying.

On the last day of term a 'special visitor' came to school and delivered Christmas Cards to the children. We all then headed home for a very well-earned two week break.

Do you have children due to start school in the next few years? If so, please drop us a line so we know you're there, as we don't want your child to miss their start of school - we take children the term after their fourth birthday. "
