Having fun, despite that ominous cloud

 

It was time for the annual summer fair. The sun was shining, the breeze warm and insects buzzed lazily in the heat haze. Only joking! This was after all July in England so the rain clouds were massing on the horizon and the temperature struggled to make double figures. Undeterred, the barbeque was erected, the bouncy castle inflated and the ice-cream van stood at the ready. There was lots of fun still to be had. Each class was responsible for one stall and they ranged from welly throwing to pin the tail on the donkey to treasure maps and guess the name of the cuddly toy. There was also the ever popular bottle stall and the even more popular chocolate tombola. Pupils and parents and friends crowded the hall and field keen to spend their money and to have fun and that’s just what they did!

 

Over £2,100 was raised at the fair and the money will be used to help fund such things as visits, trips and visitors into school.
