Christmas Cheer!
Fri 16 Dec 2022Christmas Ambassadors
Bradbury Grange Care Home
13 December 2022
On Tuesday, our Ambassadors visited Bradbury Grange Care Home to bring Christmas cheer to the residents. They delighted the staff with their festive costumes, and were warmly greeted by all. The children gathered around the Christmas tree and sang 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'. Max, Fran and Muntaha said prayers and readings. After, they handed all the residents homemade bookmarks, designed and created by the Endowed children. At the end, the children were very surprised as the residents asked if the children could sing 'Away in a Manger', it was a lovely request and everyone joined in.

Thu 15 Dec 2022Year 3 Nativity Play
Gold, Frankincense & Mirth
Well done to our fabulous Nativity superstars who performed their Nativity 'Gold, Frankincense & Mirth' at St Alphege Church on Wednesday night. All of the children did so well learning their lines, the songs and most importantly when to get on and off the stage!
Their acting was Oscar worthy with everyone playing their part brilliantly and our narrators did a wonderful job telling the story.
A big thank you to all the Staff, Whitstable CO-OP and the Monument Pub who donated mince pies and hot chocolate, which raised £86. This will be divided between The Endowed PTFA and St Alphege Church.
