Fox Class Christmas Carol Service What a truly beautiful service today! Our amazing Fox Class children led an inspiring and heartfelt celebration, sharing an engaging retelling of the Nativity through Bible readings, poems, and prose. Their confidence and creativity shone through every moment, and it was wonderful to see them bring the story to life in such a meaningful way. Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the childrenit was a special way to celebrate Christmas together.

Christingle Service at St John the Baptist Church This Sunday, we shared a wonderful time together with our friends at St John the Baptist Church. Each of the children at the service decorated a bauble with words that truly reflect the seasonlove, peace, joy, and hopeand placed them on the Christmas tree. The church fell silent as the Christingle candles were lit, creating a moment of reflection and wonder, followed by the heartfelt singing of Away in a Manger. Our choir and readers were absolutely amazing! We're delighted to share that we also raised funds for The Children's Society, supporting their vital work for young people. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this service so special.

Whole School Pantomime Trip! Today we had the most wonderful occasion as the whole school enjoyed a magical trip to Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre to see Rapunzel! It was an incredible opportunity for everyone to experience a live show filled with songs, dancing, laughter, and lots of fun. The excitement didn't stop there – we even had a special visit from Santa to make the day extra festive! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day so memorable. Especially our amazing Friends of the School who paid for all of the transport costs! What a fantastic way to celebrate the Christmas season together!

Our 'push' notifications on the MCAS app don't appear to be working. Message below was sent out yesterday with details of our Christingle Service. In case you missed it..... Start your Christmas season off by coming to our Christingle Service. The children will be singing some super songs and sharing the Christmas spirit around. The service is a short, child centred celebration. There will be an opportunity to donate to for the Children's Society. Either bring the collection to the service or send it into school. The service begins at 3:00 on Sunday 14th December. We do hope to see you then!

One of the great joys of being a church school in the Diocese of Lincoln is the opportunity for our choir to sing at the Lincoln Diocesan Board of Education Carol Service.

It is starting to look Christmassy in Morton thanks to the intrepid Squirrel class who went to Tallington Farm to collect the Christmas Tree. They had a wonderful time learning about how to plant and care for the tree. Thank you to the farm for your kind donation of the tree which is now up, dressed and lit in our hall. To add a bit more Christmas cheer - the star on our very own St John the Baptist Church is shining brightly over the village. #christmas2025 #FollowTheStar

A Poignant Remembrance Service Led by Badger Class This week, Badger Class led a deeply moving remembrance service at church, honouring those who served in past conflicts. As part of a special homework project, the children researched members of their own families who had been involved in wars across Europe and around the world. Their discoveries were brought to life through beautifully written reflections and confident, heartfelt speaking. The service was a powerful reminder of the personal stories behind the history, and the children's thoughtful contributions made it truly unforgettable. To conclude the service, children from across the school laid poppies as part of a temporary exhibitioneach one a symbol of remembrance and respect. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for the maturity, empathy and dedication they showed. Thank you to all who took part. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust

We will continue to let parents know of any more updates as soon as we have them. A decision about school opening will take place by 7:30am tomorrow morning. Our default position is as always that we are open unless a message is sent on MCAS / on this Facebook page. Thank you for your patience. We hope the home learning is going well today!!
