Harvest time is a time to say thank you! Thank you to our families for wonderful support for our harvest celebration. Well done to all the children who shared their learning about harvest at the harvest festival on Tuesday this week.

As always their behaviour was impeccable and they loved the excitement of visiting St Nicholas Church. We still have until next Wednesday to receive donations of tins and packets of food to take to Cramlington’s food bank. Many thanks to all those who have already donated food, and thanks too for joining us at the church on Tuesday.
