Chidlren had a great Jumper day and there were only 2 repetitions!
Children across the Federation had a fantastic time at the pantomime visit this year for Jack and the Beanstalk at The Garrick in Lichfield. There was a lot of shouting and dancing, ‘It’s behind you’ and ‘Oh no he didn't’ as well as lots of booing and hissing and clapping and singing! Our children were exceptionally well behaved and had a tremendous time enjoying the PTA provided treats and drinks in the interval. View the photos in the gallery.
Children from across the federation entered a chess tournament and the finalists, a boy from (Rangemore) and a boy from (Needwood) held their final match this week. It was a great event and children enjoyed practicing and pitting their skills against each other ably umpired by another team player. Rangemore won this year and wins the inter school trophy!
Thank you to Mrs Smith and Rev Les for leading such a beautiful , reflective carol service at All Saints Church Needwood. It was a lovely, service and appreciated by all. Thank you too to Miss Pettingale for playing the organ for this event.
We had a beautiful evening of music, carols and readings sponsored by many Friends of All Saints Church, Rangemore. It was a beautiful, uplifting evening and included a fabulous Christmas raffle.
The Forest Federation team were thrilled when one of their teams won the tournament this week! Well done to all the children who played and thank you to John Taylor to their young leaders for organising and hosting this event. Please view the photos in All Saints Rangemore's gallery.
Our Nativities, shared with families on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday evening, were magical and special, reflective and humorous, reverent and beautiful and they showed the enjoyment and confidence of all the children, their talents and sense of community celebrating this special al time of year.

Children had a beautiful festive lunch today including all the trimmings—turkey, roast and mashed potatoes, vegetables and cranberry sauce! They also had table cloths, napkins and crackers with gifts, hats and jokes.
The PTA held their Christmas disco - the children had a fantastic time, lots of dancing and glow sticks being waved! More photos in the Gallery.
The children all made their Christingles together in school this morning and then took part in a beautiful service in Church this afternoon. They were all able to talk about what their Christingle means and how it reminds us how Jesus is the light of the world. We are thankful to parents for sending in oranges and sweets, to Rev. Les for leading our service today and for the wonderful money donations received that will be sent to 'The Children's Society' - we have raised nearly 100 pounds.

What a magical evening we have had. The children sang carols and songs, read poems and stories and we all had a fabulous time of tradition and fun. Thank you to Steve Mansfield and his team for this wonderful opportunity. View all the photos in our gallery.
