Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all associated with Montalbo Nursery and Primary School. We wish you a happy and peaceful break.
Christmas Spectaculars!
The Christmas Performances this week have been truly special! It started this week with the lovely Christmas Tree Nativity performed by Foundation Stage. The nerve and confidence of our youngest children was remarkable. They remembered all the songs, dances and transitions and made us all very proud.
After that, Key Stage 1 took to the stage supported by Key Stage 2 choir. This was full of action and entertainment as the children danced their way through Lights, Camel, Action! Huge credit to the children for remembering all of their words and dance moves.
Congratulations to the Y5/6 children on their Business Venture. This is the culmination of their half term’s topic and the buzz of excitement around the stalls was incredible. I know they will think carefully about what to do with their profits.
Next, many thanks to two very committed groups. The Friends of Montalbo have worked tirelessly to provide refreshments and the raffle, giving up much of their own time to support the school. This is greatly appreciated. And finally, all of the staff involved over the afternoon and evening performances. They are all totally committed to the providing the best possible opportunities for your children and have helped the children make some amazing memories. Thank you.

Half Term
It’s been quite an eventful half term with new arrivals in most classes. Welcome to all the new children and their families.
There have been many highlights this half term – so many visits and visitors to the school. All have commented on the positive atmosphere and behaviour of our children.
The curriculum we provide really has many links between subject areas and Class 4 showed us this with their fabulous assembly!
Well done to all at Monty. Have a relaxing and enjoyable half term!
MacMillan Coffee Afternoon
Thank you to Mrs Ridley, all the Friends Of Montalbo and the volunteers who helped out at the Coffee Afternoon on Friday. It was lovely to see so many of you there. We raised a magnificent £374 which we will pass on with thanks.
