Knights Templar Church First School Monday 18th March 2013 End of term arrangements Parrot Club Cake stall after school on Tuesday 27th March On the last day of term, Thursday 28th March, we will be celebrating Easter with a variety of events. Easter hat parade: each child is invited to create a hat on the theme of Easter or Spring. These will be ‘modelled’ by the child in a special parade. The winner from each class will receive a prize as well as being photographed for the newspaper. Easter Egg hunt: there will be a slightly different activity this year based on the theme of an Easter Egg hunt. Please let us know if your child is unable to eat chocolate so that we can find a good option for them. If you are a member of the PTFA, please do come along and help out from 9am. Celebration Assembly: you are warmly invited to this final assembly for the term from 2.50 pm on Thursday 28th March. Reminders: Vision testing Year R – please return the slip if you have not already done so. Maths workshop – we have only received two replies to our invitation to an evening maths workshop. We are often asked to hold parents’ information meetings in the evening time but this poor response maybe shows that they are not wanted. Please can you let us know if you would like to attend and which date suits you best so that we can plan a date. War Memorial Project Some of you will remember that the children of the school were involved in producing designs for the memorial which is planned for Watchet. This week, there is another activity related to the planned memorial and the older children will be working with Pete Stevenson on an art project and also finding out more about the families of those who died. The intention of the Watchet Memorial Project is to compile an archive of all the stories, pictures, and ancestry into a book which would be given to the schools, library and museum. The actual Remembrance Garden and Memorial will be unveiled on Saturday 28th June 2014. As part of this project, we are asking our children’s families if they have any connection with the following names: WW1 William G Babb Ernest W Binding Walter S Binding William Bruford Walter J Carruthers Alfred Chidgey Henry L Davey Frederick Doble Lewis Hounsell Henry P Luck Robert J McDonald Howard B Norman Clayton G Penny Charles Redd Ernest Searle Alfred Sully Richard Sully Herbert Trunks Frederick Webber William R Webber William E Balman William J Binding Edward L Brown Albert W Bulley Herbert Carter George V Dally Alec Davis R B N Hole William G Lippiatt James Lyddon Daniel Norman William E O’Flaherty Fred Peppin Ben S N Rogers Samuel Skelcher Leonard Sully Edward G Thorne Frank Webber Walter Webber Charles White WW2 Donald J Binding Henry Binding William F Bulger Frederick A J Edwards Geoffrey J Morle Ivor Norman Kenneth Sparks Donald E Waymark Gordon H Binding Henry Bruford Reginald J Davey Dennis H Lloyd Desmond F Morse Gerald Sparks Edward J Sully Arthur T Webber If you have any photos, stories, letters about any of these people, we would be very grateful to hear from you.
