Garden: harvest, frogs and art!

On Monday a few children had a “taste” of the garden and all it has to offer, harvesting cucumbers (which have been served at lunch), “smiley” peas (frozen to make salad for the BBQ next week), meeting the poly tunnel frogs (we saw 2), wondering at pond life.  Also shown is a selection of the glass fusion tiles, made as part of the Tesco Bags of Help Sensory and Wildlife Garden, which are being framed for display in a garden entrance arch.

 

FOBS AGM 23.06.17

Dear parents and guardians,
As you know, FOBS AGM is next Friday 23rd June at 1.30 pm at the school. This is when the new committee is elected for the following year. Usually most of the committee members are reelected every year however this year we have several vacancies to be filled. At the moment we are in urgent need of finding parents willing to take on the role of Chair. Unfortunately our constitution doesn’t allow us to operate without a Chair. Therefore it is really important for FOBS and indeed the school to find someone who would like to volunteer for this role otherwise FOBS won’t be able to continue.
I have been the Chair of FOBS for nearly four years and yes, the role needs a certain degree of commitment, but in my experience it is really rewarding, good fun and I’d like to think I am leaving having made great friendships and made a difference.
If you would be interested in knowing more about the role please get in contact with me.
Kind regards
Marina Turmo-Luengo
Chair
