Reminders:

Manuka Team picnic - 5th December.
The more the merrier - 1 or 2 more parents would be wonderful. We are aiming to be back at school for lunch - so those people who would like to attend the junior prizegiving at JPC can squeeze everything in.

Young Vinnies
There is a can (nonperishable food) drive being run by the Young Vinnies. Donations are much appreciated. Collections are made on Fridays.

Christmas Parade - 2nd December
The parade takes place on 2nd December. That's this Saturday!!!! If your child would like to be in/on the float please fill in the note which will come home on Tuesday and return asap.

We are also looking for a few wonderful helpers to accompany Mary, Joseph and their entourage on their journey. If you think you can pull off an angel/shepherd costume, completed with a stunning fluro jacket, then you have all the credentials we need.

And our donkey has retired. So, we're on the look out for another patient and gentle donkey. Any ideas?

Bad Jelly The Witch (Sunday Morning Children's Radio Show)





We read a poem by Spike Milligan this morning and discovered that only a small group of kids had heard of Badjelly the Witch!  It is interesting to see who is able to listen to the whole story and who isn't able to listen to a longer story without pictures.
