Whitehouse Common Primary -

A parcel from Cartagena!

A long time before Christmas, our Spanish partners sent us a parcel of Christmas greetings. Last week, the parcel finally arrived at school, and on Friday, Señora Stevens FINALLY got the parcel and opened it.

Such a shame that we couldn't open it together but here's what was inside. 

A big pile of beautiful Christmas cards in the shape of Christmas trees with star decorations! Some of them have drawings of reindeer and mini Christmas trees on them too. Inside was a Christmas greeting each of the languages of our project.
There was also some Let's Go Cultural! lollipops! Señora Stevens promises not to eat them all - she'll save them for a very special occasion and award them as prizes!

As the parcel arrived after our Christmas decorations came down, we'll keep them safe and put them up next year as bunting around our Erasmus display to make it look sparkly. Do you like that idea?

¡Muchas gracias CEP Antonio de Ulloa! Enviamos nuestros deseos por un nuevo año lleno de esperanza, salud y gozo.

Sending seasonal greetings to our Erasmus+ partners

Although COVID19 is causing changes to our Erasmus+ project Let's Go Cultural! we haven't forgotten about our partners, nor them us, and wanted to send them our love at this special time of year. 

This week we sent greetings to our partners in Spain, Greece, Turkey and Austria in word, song and actions via a video message. Most of our partners are actually working virtually at the moment so our greeting can be shared to cheer them, wherever they are at the moment. Señora Stevens has already heard from some of the teachers that they have played the video to their classes and they loved it. And the teachers who visited us in March were particularly touched to see familair faces and commented that it brought make lovely memories of their time with us.

We hope you enjoy seeing it too!

Spanish Advent Calendar 2020

¡Hoy es el primero de diciembre! It's December 1st!

Señora Stevens has created a Spanish advent calendar to take us through to Nochebuena - Christmas Eve - full of Christmas videos from around the Spanish speaking world. Each day you can click on a door and watch a song, learn some Christmas words or find out about a tradition. There are even a few stories! 

You can't open a door until the day that matches the number so you have something to look forward to each day rather than binge watching all the content at once. 

If you click the image, it takes you to the Advent Calendar. 

¡Feliz Navidad!

New Parent Governor Elected

Christmas Performance Letter

Dear Parents,

As you are aware, Christmas will be celebrated a little differently this year. We are aiming to maintain as many traditions as we can to ensure the children enjoy the festive season.

With this in mind, we will be producing a whole school Christmas-themed performance to be filmed and available to you in time for the holidays. It is so special to be able to share the joy of the Christmas season with all our families and we are disappointed this will not be in the usual way this year. However, we believe this to be the best alternative.

Please read the following newsletter and return the form to school letting us know if you are happy for your children to take part and/or be filmed for the production.
