Last week of term…

For those of you missing a bit of Christmas magic, let’s reminisce about our last week of term! All children took part in a Christmas Nativity or Carol Service and visited Santa’s Grotto. Our parent group, FoHPS, pulled out all the stops to create a magical grotto as well as arranging a visit from the big man himself! Y6 made Christmas wreaths with some help from a few Year 6 parents, Year 4 made Christmas lanterns and the whole school joined together for Christmas lunch.

Oh, and all children took part in the Christmas Present Fair to choose gifts for their loved ones, thanks to our wonderful FoHPS Team.

Christmas week at Horsmonden really is a special time. Thank you to everyone involved for making it so magical.
