Tewkesbury's BIG Weekend!

We had an amazing time at Tewkesbury's BIG Weekend. Our Majors children took part in the walking parade through the town, dressed in costumes for our Disney theme. They looked wonderful and behaved incredibly well. They really did us proud and we have received some lovely comments from people who watched the parade, about how great they looked. Here are some pictures of them:





We also had a bottle tombola stall in the Town Hall gardens, which was very popular and sold out by 2.30pm, raising over £200. Thank you to all the parents who helped out on the stall.



On the Sunday, we entered a team into the Bell Boat races. Our heat was very close and our boat was nose to nose with the other team for most of the race. They just edged past us in the end and we were disappointed not to make it through to the final.




Thank you to everyone who supported us by being involved in the parade, stall or boat team. We are already looking forward to next year's Big Weekend!

Mother's Day and a surprise for Jill!

We had a lovely morning on Friday 28th March, when we went to the school hall for our Mother's Day celebration. We went up on the stage to show the pictures we had painted of our mummies. We had told Mrs Walker what we love about our mummies and what funny things they do, and she read out what we had said. Then we sang some special Mother's Day songs.




Also during the morning, we surprised Jill with a presentation to mark her 21 years working at Pre-School. We invited her family and friends, and showed a slideshow of pictures of Jill working with the children on the big screen. She was presented with cards, gifts and a cake. Here is a message from her:

"Thank you all so much for the wonderful surprise I was given on Friday, during our Mother's Day concert. I was completely overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and generosity. I would like to thank EVERYONE who helped to make my surprise 21 years celebration such a fantastic and memorable morning. Thank you! Jill xx"
