The park and stride scheme has now been going for nearly a term and many thanks to all of you who park up at St. Columbas.  Mrs Denton today gave some of the parents who have been distributing the stickers a small present at our final Junior assembly of 2008! The parents received some fingerless gloves to keep their hands warm whilst giving stickers and a santa mug to have a hot drink!

Many thanks indeed to all the children for their wonderful response to the Christmas Pudding Label Competition.  The high standard and imaginative drawings made the selection of the two winners an extremely difficult task.  Well done to everyone who took the time and effort to enter and congratulations to the two winners who will receive a £10 book token. They are Harriet Fisher of  J4 and Freya Walsh of MIR. Their winning entries are below.
