ST ANDREW’S DAY SERVICE

Thank you to all the staff and children for a wonderful celebration in church this morning.  The children’s behaviour was excellent as always, and their singing wonderful!  ‘My Lighthouse’ was so good (great singing and actions) and ‘Autumn Days’ when different verses were sung by different classes was also a favourite; we didn’t know which class was going to pop up to sing next!  The children finished with the wonderful ‘Peace and Love in our Soul’.  Jemima gave us an impromptu overview of the ‘Loaves & Fishes’ story during Vicar Tina’s talk, and Leah & Ruby (Y6) helped the vicar during Eucharist prayer.

Thank you again children, I’m sure the parents and grandparents who joined us enjoyed the wonderful celebration of St Andrew.
