Dear Year 5 Parents and Carers,
RE: Key Dates for Winter Events
As we approach the festive season, we are pleased to share our upcoming Winter Events for parents and children. We hope you will be able to join us in celebrating the children’s learning and the wonderful community spirit at Kelvin Grove.
Here are the winter events taking place for Year 5 this term:
Year 5 Events
- Stay and Share Afternoon: Thursday 4th December, 2:15pm – 3:00pm. Parents and carers are invited to join us in class to share in their children’s learning from the term and create a winter craft. See the separate letter here.
- Class Party: All Year 5 classes will have their party on Thursday 18th December, children can wear their own clothes or festive jumpers. Snacks and party food are welcome, but they must be nut-free (e.g., no Nutella or Kinder Bueno hazelnut).
Blue Class will have their party on Wednesday 17th December, children can wear party clothes or festive jumpers. Snacks and party food are welcome, but they must be nut-free (e.g., no Nutella or Kinder Bueno hazelnut).
Whole-School Dates
- School Winter Fair: Friday 5th December, 3:15pm – 5:00pm
- Official Christmas Jumper Day: Thursday 11th December, children are invited to wear Christmas or festive jumpers in support of Save the Children’s Official Christmas Jumper Day.
- KG Christmas Dinner & Jumper Day: Wednesday 17th December, if your child is normally packed lunch and you would like to book a Christmas dinner, please let the office know as soon as possible. Children are invited to wear Christmas or festive jumpers in school on this day.
Some children who access their learning in Blue Class may take part in different ways or may not join their mainstream class for the Stay and Share event. Ms Babs will discuss the most appropriate option with you for this event.
We look forward to celebrating this festive season with you and thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Year 5 Team
