Here Come the Presents

A quick teaser from the Christmas Concert:

Here come the presents, shiny new and gleaming bright
Here come the presents, oh what a lovely sight.

Here come the presents, we've been waiting one whole year,
Here come the presents, hip hip hooray they're here!

Left right, left right, see them marching,
Left right, left right, marching through the door.
Left right, left right, lots of presents
Wonder who they'll all be for?

Here come the presents, shiny new and gleaming bright
Here come the presents, oh what a lovely sight.

Here come the presents, we've been waiting one whole year,
Here come the presents, hip hip hooray they're here,
Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray they're here!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRE-ORDER YOUR TICKETS FOR THE CONCERTS AS THEY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO BUY ON THE DOOR!

This Friday is the annual BBC fundraiser for 'Children In Need'.  We are going to be dressing up as something beginning with P (ie Princesses, Pirates, Policemen/women, Parrots, Peppa Pig - the list is endless and can be anything you can think of).  We are also holding a bring and buy cake sale as these have proved really popular with both the children and parents!  All we ask is for a £1 donation towards Children In Need or some cakes - homebaked or bought we don't mind.  Let's make this Children In Need our best fundraiser yet - thank you for your anticipated support!  *UPDATE* Picture added and lots of cakes baked and donated.  WE HAVE RAISED A GRAND TOTAL OF £179.00!!  Thank you so much to all who helped us to raise money for this very worthwhile cause.
