December / Christmas Events 2024 in Talbot SNS

December 2024 was a really busy month in Talbot SNS! From our Christmas Fair to 5th class coding mornings, our choir playing in nearby companies, mass in the Church, to the Christmas carol service for all classes and finally our Christmas Raffle on our last day – it was all so much fun and very festive!

December 8th was our Christmas Fair in the hall for all pupils, with our staff & Parents Association helping out. Pupil saw santa, played games, bought some Christmas goods and nice baked goods!

Next we had 5th class coding morning for our after school coding club. Then we had our 3rd class parents and child arts & craft morning, then our choir (who were rehearsing all month) went off to AMD in Citywest to sing carols for the staff there, and finally our Christmas Carol Service was had on Thursday 19th December. We also had a wonderful church service which Mr Stuart organised so well!

Some lucky prize winners brought home our huge Christmas Hampers – well done to all winners and thanks to all who bought tickets in aid of our Parents Assoication!

We hope all the pupils had a memorable and fun month, we all needed the well deserved break by the 20th December!

We are now in January, feeling refreshed and ready for a new term and new year. Bring on 2025!

See some of our December photos attached.
