Summer Fair Success

The Friends of Cundall would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make last Saturday's Summer Fair such a tremendous success. The day raised a staggering £5,800. A special thank you must go to all the children who set up and manned stalls all day. They alone raised over £700!                          Debbie Keegan

Cundall Gardeners

A fantastic £372 was raised on the plant stall at the summer Fair on Saturday.  Thank you to all parents and friends who bought plants from the children. Many thanks too for donations of plants and the delicious rhubarb from Mrs Milton!

A sincere thank you to Sir Ken Morrison and his family who worked tirelessly on the stall and brought along a wonderful selection of plants to sell.

Mr and Mrs Greenwood have kindly donated a picnic table and some plant pots for the vegetable garden.

Thank you.                                                                                                                                                   VW/KH

Speech Day Cups and Trophies

Many thanks to all who have returned silverware from last year's Speech Day.  Will all those who still have cups and trophies please ensure they are engraved and returned after the half term break.

Nursery trip to Thorpe Perrow Arboretum

The Nursery enjoyed a wonderful trip to Thorpe Perrow last Thursday. A fun packed morning was had by all in the adventure playground, followed by the Birds of prey display and finally a tour of the mammal centre.  A picnic on the lawn and an ice-cream in the beautiful sunshine rounded off a perfect day. Thanks to the parent helpers and well behaved children!
