Christmas Fair
Wow – what a wonderful event we had on Friday. The hall was packed with families enjoying the festivities! Busy children
designing at the art and craft tables, delighted painted faces, happy children winning super prizes and visits to Santa’s grotto all
made for a fantastic afternoon. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents from the PTA who planned and organised
the event, and to all the staff who helped on the stalls. Also Mr Parent collected the school Christmas tree and it is now up in the
foyer. A definite sign that Christmas is on its way at Sulivan!
Farewell to Rosie Wait
Thank you to all the parents who joined Rosie, our special guest, at the Victorian tea party on Wednesday afternoon. The
children provided afternoon tea, and gave guided tours of their Victorian exhibition. They also sang and performed to say thank
you to Rosie who has been our Chair of Governors at Sulivan for nine years.
After School Clubs
A reminder for parents that after school clubs finish on Thursday 3rd December for this term. Parents are invited to attend some
informal performances from 4pm in the following clubs: Music Ensemble Tuesday 1st, Ballet club Wednesday 2nd, and Dance
club Thursday 3rd. Please come and see what the children have been doing over the last ten weeks!

December Events
It is a very busy time of year and there are lots of things for us all to remember. Please refer to class letters regarding the details
for events in December. Some parents have requested multiple numbers of tickets for performances. Due to health and safety
reasons we are only able to offer 2 tickets per family for one of the performances. If there are tickets left, we will, of course,
make them available on a first come first served basis.
