Last week we welcomed families into school for our annual Dressing of the Tree The children created beautiful, eco-friendly decorations with a focus on sustainability, and each class took turns to hang their decorations on the tree while other classes performed festive songs. We were incredibly proud of all the children who took part in this wonderful event. Thank you to Mrs Bathurst for organising the day and supporting and encouraging the children in their musical performances. We are feeling very festive now!
Marden Vale's Christmas Fair is coming! Join us on Friday 12th December, 4pm–5.30pm for a festive afternoon filled with Christmas crafts, games, music, a hamper raffle, delicious treats, and of course... a visit to Santa's grotto!

Our Bumblebee class children had a special visit from the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance team. who taught them essential first aid skills. The children learned how to perform CPR, place someone in the recovery position, and help a person who is choking. They found the session incredibly interesting and had lots if fun practising their new skills!
