Mayor’s Carol Service
Yesterday Yr.6 went to the Mayor’s Carol Service. Councillor Emily Arnold, gave a talk on family and how Christmas is about supporting one another. Maisie and Christopher were involved in this talk. We then, along with five hundred other Year Six children, sang carols and listened to Bible readings reminding us why we celebrate Christmas. To welcome people to the service and as an item in the service Yr.6 played their Djembe drums. They wrote an excellent song about Christmas which they performed as part of their routine. This was ably led by Liliana, Madeline, Luca, Elijah, Grace, Isobella and Lorena. Well done everyone, you represented us really well.
Here are the lyrics which they wrote;
Yes it is Christmas time
Jesus came, his light to shine,
Immanuel God with us,
In our lives, him we trust
Promised to Mary from above
Born in a stable out of love
Visited by shepherds from the hills
Hunted by Herod, Herod kills
Saviour of the world
Came for all the boys and girls
Our friend, our King, our everything
He is the reason that we sing
Merry Christmas one and all
