Year 2’s CharitY Christmas Cards Year 2 worked hard on making greeting cards to sell at the Heritage Christmas Fete on Saturday 6 December 2014. The sale of the cards raised €200 and all proceeds will be donated to the Dancing Queen Foundation. A representative from the charity will be collecting the money during our assembly and will tell the children a little about how the money raised will be used. Many thanks to all parents, teachers and children for buying the cards and supporting us in this worthy cause. Well done Year 2, and we look forward to repeating this enjoyable charity endeavour next year! As Christmas time approaches, the staff and students are busy in the Nursery Christmas Corner making decorations for the tree and special keepsakes to take home. The children are having a lovely time preparing those extra special gifts for you to treasure. It is a very exciting time with preparations being made for the children's first Heritage Christmas Show, and of course we are all looking forward to the Christmas party featuring a visit from our special guest, Santa! The staff of the Nursery would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Many, many miles away in a land of ice and snow, lived a Penguin colony with a very puzzled penguin called Penny… Year 1’s show ‘The Puzzled Penguin’ was a huge success! The children worked extremely hard at the singing and acting, and I think we may even have a few future actors in our classes! Congratulations to Year 1 for a truly remarkable performance of ‘The Puzzled Penguin’. The Topic for Term 1 in Year 2 was Famous People. Each class studied a different famous children’s author. On Thursday 13 November the Year 2 had an opportunity to learn about two new authors. They rotated classes and were taught about Roald Dahl by Ms Eleni, Dr Seuss by Ms Evy and Julia Donaldson by Mrs Fotoula. An enjoyable, educational day was had both by children and teachers. The Cat in the Hat – Dr Seuss Mrs Fotoula The Gruffalo – Julia Donaldson EUROPEAN YOUTH PARLIAMENT MINI SESSION For the large majority of our world’s population, the European Parliament is usually associated with men in stuffy suits debating the key issues faced by our continent in today’s society. Nonetheless, the European Youth Parliament (EYP) provides young adults with the opportunity to step into the shoes of such politicians for a day or so. On Thursday 4 December 2014, The Heritage Private School held its first EYP mini-session, which gave students from Year 11 a chance to experience life as an EYP participant and hopefully inspire them to continue on this journey. The day consisted of three chief components: teambuilding, committee work, and of course, debating; all of which benefitted the students in many ways. Teambuilding was a fantastic way for the students to broaden their social circles and mix with new and unfamiliar people. Public schools from both Paphos and Limassol were also invited to join our session, which enabled Heritage students to meet others from outside of our school and city, and hopefully form lasting friendships. Committee work utilised these new relationships and laid the foundations for the chemistry needed to brainstorm and create the speeches required for the General Assembly. The General Assembly is where students actually propose their given resolutions – regarding topical issues of today – and debate whether these resolutions are sufficiently rigorous. Regardless of whether students’ proposed resolutions passed or not, it is important to note that this was not the fundamental reason for the holding of the EYP minisession. The European Youth Parliament is an excellent opportunity for youngsters to get a feel of life in parliament and realise that it is possible for them to aim to make a difference to our society. It is our great belief and hope that those who were eagerly participating in this session will be amongst our future politicians.

The students who attended the activity were accompanied by three teachers and they had the privilege to watch a very unique show ‘Monsieur et Madame O’, a comic gesture play which was sponsored by the French Embassy. In 1998,"Mr. and Mrs. O" received the Audience Award of the Ocean Tour and second Prize of the Humor Festival of Longjumeau. It was written and directed by Violaine Clanet and Laurent Clairet and it was interpreted by Maria Cadenas and Laurent Clairet. The Heritage Christmas Fete was a great success, and the sun shone down on the Early Years School all day long. Many thanks to all those who attended and special thanks to Janine Mackenzie, Sue Fairclough, Stephanie Martin and Jane Ellis for making Santa’s grotto an amazing spectacle for the children. All the toys from the gift appeal have been delivered to St Barnabas Church and they will be given out at a Christmas party that is being organised for the homeless and needy. The church is also in contact with the Welfare who have a list of families whose children also need a little bit of joy at Christmas. Thank you to all staff who volunteered to gift wrap and label the toys at the fete, we hope there will be some very smiley faced children over the Christmas period due to their efforts. Thank you also to Santa, who was particularly busy but managed to visit the Heritage for the day.

CHRISTMAS IN RECEPTION The children in Reception captured our attention with their endearing performance, ‘A Snowman at Sunset ‘. Their singing mesmerised us as we watched the story of how much joy snow can bring to everyone, everywhere! Well done, Reception! Reception children also really excelled themselves in the Christmas Tree Decoration competition. The Christmas tree in Early Years building looks amazing and is positioned near the front entrance so students, parents, staff and visitors can all enjoy the tree. We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that they are more than welcome to take their child’s decoration home on the last day of term, if they wish. CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM PRE-RECEPTION Our festive production of ‘Chilly Milly’ put a fantastic end to our first term together. It is due to the children’s hard work and perseverance that the show was an enjoyable experience for all. Well done! Merry Christmas to all. Special Message to Pre-Reception staff and students A big thank you to all staff from Mr Jack Stephens, Mrs Julie’s father. He was invited to watch the dress rehearsal and made to feel like a VIP. He said he now appreciates just how hard teachers work to achieve such excellent results. He also said it has made his Christmas extra special, because this is his 25th Christmas as part of the Heritage family, and watching the show brought back so many fond memories. SOCIAL SUPERMARKETS Donations were collected from school ready for delivery to families in need. Thank you to all staff, parents, students and friends for your support. It is greatly appreciated and we know the support has made a great difference to the circumstances of a number of families.
