National Sports Week (24-28 June)
During the week beginning 24 June, it is National Sports week. Miss Gibbs is trying to organise sports coaches to come in during one afternoon that week so that the children can experience as many different sports as possible.
If you are a sports coach or know of someone who is and are available during that week to come in and teach and train the children, please return the slip at the bottom of the page.
Local Play Areas
Play is a really important thing for children to be able to do and having a safe place to play is equally as important. Mrs Schooling is campaigning to get the facilities at Town Mead replaced. She has launched a petition. You can sign it by following the link here http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/to-revamp-the-town-mead-childrens-play-area.html or by visiting her outside Tescos this Sunday between 11am and 5pm.
