X-Factor

There have been quite a few people approaching me in the playground over the last couple of days to enquire whether they are in time for the x-factor and various other requests, queries and lost forms.

I have therefore decided to extend the date for entries until Tuesday, 2nd June. This gives your child over the break to come up with something. But if your child really does want to enter but is dithering a bit, perhaps you wouldn't mind giving them a nudge. Mrs Barber and I have lots to do when we get back from the break in it's organisation and late entries will be such a pain in the neck, so please please no entries after this date. Forms are in the office if you have lost yours.

Please feel free to email me on annenorthfield@fual.co.uk if you have any queries or telephone me on 07595 218837. We are being very flexible with songs, timings, etc. so don't worry.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Children's May Ball

Thank you to all the mums, dads and grandmas who helped out on Saturday at the May Ball. As always, your help is always appreciated and never taken for granted.

The children had a wonderful time. The venue was fab and so was the entertainer. I do have his card if you are interested; he really was very good indeed.

The star prize for the raffle was a chocolate fountain. Well done to that child but I don't envy the poor mum who has to clear up the mess afterwards. I've done it myself and it's very messy indeed. My advice is to do it naked and have a bath ready to jump into. The kids, obviously, not you!

Personally, I thought the May Ball works better than the christmas party, as there is already so much going on at christmas that it's nice to leave a party until a bit later, give the children something to look forward to. Also the PA are so hectic at christmas that it just lightens the load a little. I also thought it went on half an hour too long. What do you think? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on both aspects.

I am also chuffed that Mr & Mrs Carn and Mr Gladwin came. It does show unity amongst the children, teachers and parents. I'm looking forward to the photographs.

Bye for now!

Children's Ball & X-Factor

First of all I would like to publicly thank Sarah Linnell & Lizzie Brown for their help at the sports tournament last Friday. Despite their child not taking part they both gave up a significant amount of their time to help. Thanks for the chocolate Mrs Howles!!

We're looking forward to the children's ball tomorrow and I have been hearing a lot of excited children talking in the playground about what they are going to wear. So I'll look forward to seeing all those pretty dresses. Let's hope the boys look just as handsome. I will be running a raffle and a name the teddy competition, but I promise not to overdo it, so if you send your child in with loose change out of your purse, say, £1.00, that should be more than enough to buy one raffle ticket and one go on the teddy challenge.

Time is running out for the x-factor entries. If your child really wants to participate then please let me have their entry by next Friday, 22nd June. I'm afraid that I cannot do anything after that date. I don't have many entries at the moment, in fact I just have 1! I cannot run an event with hardly any participants, so don't let me cancel it! I need at least 15 entrants to make it worthwhile.

See you soon.
