Our Year 2 children completed some wonderful art work and please read on to fin out more about it…

The opening of the ACCT schools exhibition of art work at RHS Rosemoor opened on 28th June and was a great success. Many parents have already bought their child’s art work at either £20 for A4 size, or £25 for A3 size.

The unsold art work is now open to the general public to buy so if you would like to purchase your child’s work you can still pop down to Rosemoor, tell the desk you are only there to see the exhibition, and then pay your own school directly later. We ask that you pay by cash or cheque, made payable to ACCT, at your school office. We will then email staff at RHS Rosemoor and they will indicate a sold sticker on the artwork for the rest of the exhibition. It closes on Sunday 14th July. You do not have to pay to visit the Exhibition and cafe, but you will if you would like to visit the gardens- unless you are RHS members.

School Fayre is Friday 5th July.

At 3.15pm the school choir will perform on the playground and at 3.30pm the fayre fully opens. At 4.45pm thee will be a Streetz Street Dancers display and the fayre will end at 5.30pm.

We look forward to seeing you there for games, BBQ, raffle, Hockings and much more.

Children are invited to wear their own clothes on the day  and we will confirm soon if this is for a £1 donation or a tombola prize.

The award is in recognition of promoting awareness and understanding of conservation and environmental matters and recognises how a group of young people have made a significant contribution to conservation and environmental management.

To receive the award a contingent of children from school attended the show with Jayne & Lucy from MUDTASTIC and received a cheque for £200, a hedgehog award and a framed certificate for the school. Congratulations to everyone involved, parents, children, teachers for this amazing achievement.
