To jest nasz drugi wpis o tym jak w Polsce swietuje sie Boze Narodzenie. W Polsce swientujemy wigilie 24 grudnia.Gdy pierwsza gwiazdka jest na niebie jest czas na kolacje wigilijna. Tradycja jest taka ze powinno byc jedno kszeslo wolne przy stole dla niespodzewanego goscia. Najpierw dzielimy sie oplatkiem i skladamy zyczenia. A potem siadamy do stolu. Tradycia jet taka ze jest 12 roznych potraw na stole jak barszcz czerwony, zupa grzybowa, karp, pierogi z grzybami i z kapustom, kompot z suszu i makowiec. Po kolacji kazdy dostaje prezeny ktore sa ukryte pod chonka. Mikolaj zostawia je tam w Wigilie kiedy nikt nie patrzy. Niektorzy ludzie czekaja do polnocy zeby pojsc do kosciola na pasterke. W dzien Bozego Narodzenia odwiedzamy rodzine i spedzamy razem milo czas. Hi! We are four girls called Kinga, Roksana, Weronika and Daria and every week we will make a diary entry for the Newsletter in English and Polish. This week we are going to tell you how people in Poland spend their Christmas. In Poland we start celebrating on Christmas Eve on 24 December. When the first star appears in the sky it is time for supper. The tradition is there should be one spare chair at the table for an unexpected guest. The first thing we do is to share a thin wafer wishing all the best to each other. Then it is time to eat supper. Traditionally there are twelve different kinds of dishes including beetroot soup, mushroom soup, carp, dumplings with mushrooms and sourkraut, dried fruit compote and poppy seed cake. After the supper everyone gets presents which are hidden under the Christmas tree. Santa leaves them on Christmas Eve when nobody is looking. Some people wait until midnight to go to church for the midnight Mass. On Christmas Day we visit our family and have a good time together. BREAKFAST CLUB RE-OPENS MONDAY 9TH JANUARY Breakfast Club will re-start on Monday 9th January (the second week back after Christmas). We thought you would appreciate as much notice as possible in case this change affects your childcare arrangements.

RECEPTION NATIVITY IN DONCASTER FREE PRESS We are pleased to let you know that the photograph of our Wriggly Nativity production is included in this weeks edition of Doncaster Free Press.

CROSSING LITTLEMOOR LANE AND PARKING We now have a new Crossing Patrol Warden, so please impress on your children that they should use the warden when they try to cross the road. Again we are asking that you park sensitively when you bring and collect your children, bearing in mind not blocking our neighbours drives or double parking and causing problems for children trying to cross the roads. Additionally, please do not park ON the pavement, as buggies and wheelchairs need the space on the footpath, as well as it being dangerous for children if you try to drive on the path. Thank you for your co-operation.

UPDATE TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS We are experiencing difficulties at the moment contacting parents when their child is ill, or left behind from an after-school club or activity. Please make sure, if you change your mobile number, or even move house, that you let school know. Thank you.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR NEWSLETTER We are encouraging the children to contribute to our weekly newsletter with stories, pictures and items of interest they have done in the classroom our outside school. The contributions this week are from Year 3, Violet & Ruby classes. Look out for more class contributions in the coming weeks

THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS We would like to wish all Parents, Governors and Children a very happy holiday. Many thanks to all those who have supported us in many and various ways this year, fundraising, attending meetings, sending in all the bits and pieces we request over the term. Your children value your involvement in their education as do we, and we hope we can continue this relationship into the New Year. On behalf of the staff, we would like to wish you all a good Christmas break and may you all have a prosperous New Year. We look forward to seeing you all back on Tuesday 3rd January.
