It is definitely Christmas now at Eaton Bray Academy! Christmas trees, displays and decorations are up in all the classrooms, and we are all really looking forward to our Christmas Fair on Saturday.

Last Friday, the PTA hosted a Wine and Cheese Evening in the School Hall. All who attended enjoyed an entertaining talk by local wine expert Matt Pym, as well as getting to taste a selection of wines, and cheese supplied by Hines Butchers. It was a very pleasant evening - a great chance for parents to appreciate a bit of child-free time and catch up with other adults!

The children have all been rehearsing hard for their Christmas plays and performances this week. On Wednesday morning, Hedgehogs, Otters, Squirrels and Rabbits got the opportunity to perform their songs in front of an audience, when the "Wednesday Club" came to visit. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, and as a thank you, presented the children with some books for the school library.

On Wednesday afternoon the whole school walked down St Mary's Church for the annual EBA Christingle service. As usual it was a lovely occasion, especially when all the lights were switched off in the church, and the candles lit.

On Thursday morning, parents were invited in to school to watch the Hamsters children perform their Christmas concert. The children sang some lovely songs and told the story of the Nativity - everyone agreed that it was wonderful! Otters Class children enjoyed it so much that they wrote a special thank you letter to the younger children to let them know.
