    Throughout the year, we aim to expose our children in years 2 to 6 to the huge world of different jobs and career paths that are available to them.

    We feel it is important to support the aspirations of our children and enable them to find out more about the wide range of careers that are available to them in the future.

    We hope that we could spark an interest that could begin their journey to a lifelong career in a job that they never knew existed!

    The Travelling Crib

    Dear Parents/Carers

    To help us remember the Christmas Story, we would like to invite you to join our special project called “The Travelling Crib”.

    The idea is that it is to help remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem and as a family for you to take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas and share this prayer time as a family.

    The crib will be sent home for you to share that evening and return to school the next day.

    We hope you enjoy The Christmas Crib!

    Many thanks
