Dear parents/carers

With Christmas approaching, we thought we’d inform you of how we are planning on celebrating this year.

Obviously, things will have to be a little different in the circumstances, but we’re sure we can all still enjoy ourselves in a safe way.

Here are the plans for a Belfield Christmas:

- **30th November** – **Reindeer** visit for children in FS/KS1
- **14th December** – **Virtual Pantomime** (children will watch our annual panto via Zoom!)
- **14th December – Parties** in the afternoon. Unfortunately, **we can’t accept food donations** from home this year. We will give each child a small snack and drink, in sealed packets and they will celebrate in their classrooms. They can wear their **party clothes** on this day if you wish, but please remember to ensure they are warm, with a coat.
     **15th December - Nursery Party**, Unfortunately, **we can’t accept food donations** from home this year. We will give each child a small snack and drink, in sealed packets and they will celebrate in their classrooms. They can wear their **party clothes** on this day if you wish, but please remember to ensure they are warm, with a coat.
- there will be a **gift for each child** – we’re hoping that Father Christmas will find a way to deliver them even though he won’t be able to visit classes this year
- **15th December – Reception and KS1 Christmas Dinner**
- **16th December – KS2 Christmas Dinner**
- On Christmas Dinner Day, children will still be eating with their bubbles and not mixing with other classes. **They can wear a Christmas jumper** if you wish.
- **17th December – Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas songs outside**. We will bring all the children together (in a socially distanced manner) on the playground to sing Christmas songs. We will video this so we can share it with you. **Look out Nursery's Singalong on the Purple Mash Nursery shared blog and the school website. Unfortunately**, we won’t be able to perform a Nativity this year, but hope we can bring it back bigger and better in 2021!
- To help us pay for the Reindeer, Pantomime, presents and party food, we would be grateful for **a voluntary contribution of £2**, if you can. Thankyou!

On **Thursday 17th December the school closes** for the holidays. You can pick your child up **anytime from 1pm.**

We re-open on 4th January

Thank-you as always for your continued support

Mrs Farrell
