CHRISTMAS GIVING DAY AT FAIRLIGHT
On FRIDAY 9th DECEMBER we will be hosting a Christmas Giving Day.
On this day (once we have completed our Key Stage 2 Show in the Church) the whole school in the morning will all be watching videos, signing Christmas songs and doing Christmas making.
In the afternoon the children will be able to watch a Christmas Film (it will be a U) together in their classrooms.
We will be asking children to bring in a donation for a Christmas Hamper as part of Christmas Giving Day in return for Wearing a Christmas Jumper.
 
This donation will then be used to make up some Christmas Hampers for those who may need them at Christmas. 
At Fairlight we have 137 children (about 41%) who the Government data recognise would be in need this Christmas. We of course know this in reality is a lot higher. 
 
If you or your business want to become involved by doing the same at your work or by making a donation please contact the school to find out more. 
DONATIONS CAN INCLUDE...
  • Tins- including beans, vegetables, tuna and soup
  • Pasta
  • Packets of cereal
  • Sauces- including pasta sauce but also ketchup
  • Toiletries 
  • Winter Clothing- hats/ gloves
  • Wrapped Christmas Presents- marked for child or adult.

CHRISTMAS EVENTS IN THE CHURCH

ALL KEY STAGE 1 AND KEY STAGE 2 PARENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THIS AMAZING EVENT. NO TICKETS NEEDED.

St Martins Church is a large venue so please invite the whole extended family. It would be good to see lots of you there. 

Parents will drop children to school as normal.

Parents will then head down to the church.

Parents will enter the church via the main church door. 

Parents will then be asked to make their way to their seats.

Parents are asked to sit in a seat- not congregate down the side or in the aisles as these need to remain clear.

Anyone late cannot be admitted.

 

CHRISTMAS EVENTS IN SCHOOL AND IN THE CHURCH

Of course if you do not want your child to attend the church for religious reasons or you do not want them to participate in any Christmas events in school then please contact your child's classteacher to make them aware of this.

Children and families from all faiths and backgrounds are most welcome at St Martins and to be part of our Christmas Celebrations. We have for many years had families from many faiths and backgrounds join us.

The venue is key to us being able to invite all of the family.

 

CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTIES

Each class will be able to host a Christmas party on a day they choose and if they choose to have one. 

More information will be sent to parents neaer the time of what we are asking children to bring in.

We usually do parties across Year groups or Key Stages.

Anything the children do bring in will need to be individually wrapped or in wrapping and must not contain nuts.
