Pre School Sports Day 2007

Sports Day 2007

Our Sports Day this year was held on the last day of term, Friday 20th July, which meant we could combine the fun and games with saying goodbye to this year’s leavers who are now ready to go up to "big school".

The weather did not not want to join in the fun, so all activities were confined to the village hall rather than our garden. Never the less, great fun was had by all. . We managed to stage a running race, an obstacle race, a tower building race, a ball passing race and a dressing up race. All the children were awarded prizes of special “end of term” sweeties and then some much needed ice lollies when all the racing was over.

As well as saying goodbye to our leavers, we also said good bye to staff member Eve Wilkins, who has been a helper with us for 4 years, and to one half of the the Committee Joint Chair, Sarah Sealey. Sarah has put in a huge amount work over the last year, reviewing and updating a large number of our pre-school policies, and we felt we could not let her go without showing our appreciation. Both ladies were presented with flowers and cards.

Certificates for the sponsored "I Can Challenge" which took place during the summer term, were awarded to all the children that took part, and special prizes awarded to Callum Knipe and Aoife Preston who each raised over £70.

As per tradition, all the children leaving for big school were presented with bags that they will use at school, as well as some fun goodies, pieces of artwork that they have done during their time at pre-school and all the notes their carers had made about them over the past year. The children carrying on at pre-school in the next school year all received party bags so they would not feel left out!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and parents who helped out at our Sports Day and throughout the school year. We look forward to meeting new parents and, more importantly, new children, in September.
