Well here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun, Here's to the future now it's only just begun.....

Last Monday was truly the start of the Christmas festivities here at Merefield with our participation at the Ainsdale Schools' Community Advent Service. Our pupils were the stars of the show even if I say so myself!!  Merefield also joined in with the Ainsdale Community Christmas Tree festival last week with a tree that had a handmade bauble from each class. Our Parent/Carer Christmas Lunches were as popular as ever with everyone appreciating the amazing work from Claire and her team in the kitchen to produce such wonderful Christmas lunches for so many. Last week ended with an action packed fun-filled Friday for all pupils - either at Gullivers World in Warrington or here at school at the Merefield Circus Day.

This week it is all about the Christmas Shows - always a highlight of the year! Don't forget to bring your purses as Upper School will be selling their beautiful Christmas decorations that they have made during their enterprise sessions.

As well as taking part in all these lovely activities we have not forgotten those less fortunate than ourselves and I would like to thank everyone who has sent in donations for the shoebox appeal and also our Foodbank collection.

Alongside all these whole school events there are individual class trips out, upper school Christingle service, breakfast with Santa and various other special happenings between now and the end of term. As always non of these things would take place without the hard work and dedication of our wonderful staff - my very grateful thanks to everyone for their continued passion and commitment to Merefield school.

Very best wishes to everyone within our wonderful Merefield community

Sue
