All-age publicity spring-summer 2020

Messy Church

As Autumn Term ends, it is important to reflect on this last half term of 2019 in school. There have been some real highlights recently; the KS1 Nativity which was fantastic, the Christingle Service, the Pantomime Trip, The Football Truce afternoon, Pimhill have visited the Forest School each week, Grinshill visited Liverpool’s World Museum, Year 6 enjoyed a Maths Morning at The Corbet, Open the Book have shared Bible stories during several worship times and we hosted the Christmas Fair, raising nearly £500.

We would, as ever, like to thank all of the children, parents, carers and friends of the school for their continued support.

We look forward to 2020 and would like to wish all of the school community a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A Christmas Prayer –  by Robert Louis Stevenson

“Loving Father, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.”

We visited Theatre Severn on Thursday 19th December 2019 to watch Aladdin!

We were sat in the stalls, with our pupils and staff right at the front, with a fantastic view!

We really enjoy our annual trip to the Panto at Theatre Severn and are already looking forward to next year!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all parents, carers and relatives who bought raffle tickets for the annual Friends of Bomere Heath Raffle. Hundreds of tickets were sold, with proceeds going towards the Friends’ fund to help the school purchase resources and books.

The first prize was £100, the second prize a wine and spirits hamper, the third prize a luxury food hamper and the fourth prize was a meal for two at the Corbett Arms.

Thank you to The Friends of Bomere Heath for their support, hard work and organising this event.

On Wednesday 18th December, we visited Leaton Church for the annual Christingle Service. The church was beautifully decorated for the recent Christmas Tree Festival, which added to the lovely atmosphere for the service. Reverend Mary-Lou Toop and Reverend Hannah Lins led prayers and readings, with pupils from Year 6 teaching us about how Christingle started and Pimhill and Haughmond singing a song from their recent Nativity.

The highlight of the event was the whole congregation singing Silent Night with only the light of the candles on the Christingles flickering throughout the church.

The pupils behaved wonderfully, leading to a memorable morning.
