“GRAB A GRANNY—OR GRANDAD”
We are delighted to announce our “Grab a Granny” event which will take place on Thursday 20th May from 1:15—3:15 p.m. This is an afternoon where grannies, grandads, aunties, uncles and anyone from the village is invited into school to talk about what life was like when they were children and how it has changed. We hope that an ‘oral history’ event such as this will bring together all sections of our community as well as giving our children an insight into their village in times past. Please do come along and bring any artefacts, pictures etc which show what your life as a child was like. We will be looking at and talking specifically about—toys, school, jobs and food but anything you can bring would be most welcome. If you intend to join us then please just let the office know so that we know how many adults we have. The more the merrier—tea and cake will be served too!

FRIENDS OF SCHOOL
There will be a FOS meeting on Wednesday 12th May at 7:30 p.m. in school. Please join us if you would like to help organise the Strawberry Fayre. We hope you have seen our new ‘teepees’ which will be sited on the field for imaginative play. Thank you very much to the FOS for funding these. I am sure that the children will really enjoy them—we have already!

ARTS WEEK
This year our Arts week will focus on the countryside and
habitats. We will all be working on producing panels for display outside our school. These may be collage, mosaic, fossil etc—in fact anything which will withstand the weather. You are all most welcome to join us and work with our children. Arts week is every afternoon in the week of 21st-25th June. If you have any materials which we could use or any skills which you are willing to share then please contact your child’s class teacher or Mrs Hill. Please give your name to your child’s class teacher if you intend to join us for any part of Arts week. Finished panels will be displayed during our Friday assembly on Friday 2nd July. We look forward to seeing you at this fun event.
