Joyeux Noël! Feliz Navidad! Fröhliche Weihnachten! Year 7 pupils at The Kimberley School have been designing French, German and Spanish Christmas cards as part of a European Christmas Card exchange project with our primary feeder schools. Year 5 and 6 pupils from Larkfields, Gilthill, Hollywell, Awsworth and Mornington School have been busy designing cards in all shapes and sizes in the hope of winning best Christmas card. Winners will be voted for by the Kimberley students and displayed in the school foyer. Mrs Moss, who is organising the project together with colleagues from the Primary School Languages Network, said, ‘It’s been a wonderful opportunity to get creative and engage in a project with local primary schools using a foreign language.” Patrick Howard (Year 7) said,’ we have really enjoyed learning French Christmas words such as ‘Le Bonhomme de neige’ , which means snowman.’ Jennie Gibb (Year 7) said, ‘I love doing crafts and it’s been great to make a Christmas card in French’. Mrs L Moss Struggling with what to wear this Christmas? I was searching through some past papers when I came across an old school newsletter. I thought I’d share Juliet Trout’s fashion page with you… Whether you choose to take Juliet’s advice or not, I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas. Chris Teal Headteacher
