New Arrivals at Tadworth Primary Darcy Hannah Mather arrived safely on Wednesday 8 December weighing 7lbs 13oz.

Mrs Mather came into school with Darcy to see the Reception Nativity Play on

Wednesday and Darcy seemed to take it all in—even jumping when the audience

applauded the performance!

We would also like to offer belated congratulations to Mrs Jane Roberts who gave birth

to Sophie on 22 November, a sister for Emma. JK

Merry Christmas Everyone The term finished in style with the children performing in their Christmas productions. Our youngest children took

to the Tadworth stage for the first time and showed real confidence with the microphone, singing beautifully and

throwing in the occasional dance move. Year 1 and 2 joined forces to share the story ‘Born in a Barn’. Unforeseen

sickness struck many of the cast members for their second show but the children (and

staff) did a great job getting through the performance! The Year 3 / 4 Panto had the

audience rolling in the aisles and our Years 5 / 6 completed the programme with their

stunning Spanish take on a Traditional Christmas at our local church. My thanks to

the whole staff team who work so tirelessly putting together these truly memorable

productions; to parents for their support with costumes, learning lines and attendance

at the events; and above all to the children for entertaining us all. On top of all these

performances, 15 children from Years 5 and 6, went and sung carols at a local nursing

home accompanied by Miss Rollason. The children also enjoyed Christmas Parties in

their year groups, including Reception children seen in

the photo.

On Wednesday afternoon, we drew our FroTh organised

raffle. It raised over £1300.00 which is a fantastic figure for the new library. Our

thanks to Heather Andrews for all her hard work on the raffle (and fair). A list of

prize winners can be found on the FroTh website.

Yesterday, we had a fantastic day with almost 300 children having a Christmas

Dinner joined by most of the staff. The food was excellent and the festive atmosphere,

truly memorable—our thanks to the kitchen team for all of their hard work in coolly

catering for such a large number! I can’t wait for next years!

We would like to congratulate Miss Rollason on her forthcoming wedding and look

forward to welcoming her back as Mrs Clarke when we return to school on

Wednesday 5 January 2011. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you and your

families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. . JK

Our new school website is now live! There are still one or two alterations

to be made but we were keen to go live before Christmas. We will be adding more next

term and sharing with pupils and parents how to get the most out of the site, but for now,

please have a look at it by following this link www.tadworthps.surrey.sch.uk. Our original

website—the VLE—can now be accessed via the Links menu on the new website. Any

important announcements such as snow closures will appear in a box on the home page of

the new website, which will only appear when it has been populated. JK
