Autumn Air Show
11th October 2009
***********************************************************
In 2008 the PTA reached it's target to provide 15 laptops and a portable recharging trolley which included wireless internet connection for the ICT department.
The PTA continues to help the school with the “extras” – subsidising transport for school trips, Christmas decorations, flowers and help to make Mother’s Day bouquets, playground equipment and library books.
Parents and community members have given freely of their time for reading with children, playing the piano, helping with many clubs, transporting children to matches, developing the school grounds and making lovely outside play areas for the new Reception classroom and Year 1.
Events for 2009:
Air Days
As usual the school will open it's car park, charging just £7 per car, for people to watch the air shows from the school and surrounding areas. There will be hot/cold drinks a BBQ selling locally bought sausages and burgers, and our well known Cake Stall selling locally home-made cakes and pastries (all made by parents of the school).
Previous air days have always raised a lot of money for the school, which paid for the Outdoor Classroom, benches and planters, new ICT equipment.
