Kirkby & Gt. Broughton School

It was a lovely sunny day last day of term for our Easter Service and annual Duck Races. In the morning we gathered together in St Augustine’s and heard readings about the Easter story and Easter traditions. We had a range of songs and hymns all beautifully sung, and listened to some Easter poems and rhymes. The choir and recorder group also performed beautifully during the Service.

In the afternoon our Year 6's enthusiastically shepherded reluctant ducks away from the banks and then gathered them up for their next race. Due to an unusually dry early Spring the beck was not very fast moving so the ducks needed plenty of encouragement! Back in school the children's decorated eggs were on display . Each year the inventiveness and creativity of entries gets higher and higher and, as always, it proved to be a very difficult job choosing the winners. The PTA served tea and coffee and organised an Easter egg tombola for parents and friends of the school. They raised an amazing £146.46 for school funds which is a brilliant total.

During the first two weeks of the Summer term the children have taken part in two exciting sporting events. All the children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 joined with other young athletes for a fun run. Our Year 3 and Year 4 children have enjoyed a fun aqua splash event too. With the London Olympics just around the corner our children are really getting into the spirit of things! We are currently planning an Olympic sports week later this term when a wide range of sports will be on offer to all our children. More details to follow! .

Telephone Scam This message came from a resident of a neighbouring village: I've just spent 11 mins talking to a rather persistent chap from SKY insurances. He said that my Sky insurance policy had just expired. I asked him what was covered and when it expired. He said he was calling from MyCover or similar and from their Brighton office. My cover had apparently expired on 5th April but it was no trouble to him - he could renew immediately to safeguard my equipment. He sounded English (rather than Indian or Far eastern). The phone no. was withheld. We spent some time trying to find out what exactly was covered and listening to his special offer (just £189 for a further 3 years!).Apparently he has our name / address on 'his system'. His new cover offer was for our cables, dish and box etc or so he said. He was very keen to get my credit details...........we have never had 'Sky' or any associated insurance!

Please beware scams and warn elderly neighbours.
