Blanket banquet
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!
This year's ptfa blanket banquet gave the children, parents and staff a final opportunity to say an emotional farewell to Mrs. Aplin. Nanny Franacapan made a wonderful cake for the occasion and the children presented gifts on behalf of everyone, including a photo album produced by Sarah Foye and a 100 square art work made by pupils past and present.
Lynda thanked everyone for their support over the years, especially her first head teacher and had the following advice. “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun”!

AN EXHIBITION is being organised to mark the centenary. This will feature archive photographs and work which the children will be producing as they seek to tell the story of the school during the past hundred years. The exhibition will be open to the public.

This will be followed by a special REUNION event for past staff and pupils from 2.00pm until 5.00pm. If you would like to attend please contact the school. tel: 01243 572380. MORE

PTFA Quiz night

Congratulations to this year's winners ‘The Dunnos', with a successful defence of their 2008 title!

But what a close run thing it was, with only 9 points separating the top seven teams and a winning margin of only one and a half a point!!

Despite having the biggest team ever, and taking an early lead, Mats cats failed to hold on, as both the Tarts, solid thru out, and the Dunnos, impressive as ever, over took them at the half way stage.

Despite full points on their joker rounds both Quizteam Aguikera and Supergirls were let down on their knowledge, or lack of it, of sport! Maybe the token gent would help next year girls?

Masterminds were found wanting in the strange fruit round-Vomit fruit (Dragon fruit) and Melony thing (Papaya) failing to gain a point!
