Nice bit of press today in the local newspaper.

WE did it. What a day. A picture is worth a thousand words!

The sun shone and we saw over 60 parents come into the school on the day (and many more in the evenings and weekends before) and work with the whole teaching and support staff and a fantastic team of external artists and creatives to put on the most amazing day.

 

The school looked great, the entrance brought to life by the sign that dad Huw Morgan made for us. Stunning job!

Our MC for the day, Maximillian Wigglebottom, kicked things off and fired the children's enthusiasm in an assembly like no other.

 

 

We imported half a ton of clay (thanks to Mr Higgins for carrying it all in) from which the children crafted a clay mountain of amazing characters.

In silhouette story telling the children made paper cut-outs of their favourite fairytale characters whcih they brought to life with shadow puppetry and their own musical soundtrack.  

Noisy toys was a real hit - the chance to experiment with a load of music making gadgets and gizmos to explore the way noise, music and sounds are made.

First look at the passport

On the day, each child gets a Passport that tells them about all the activities we have planned for them. When they complete a task they get a stamp. 6 stamps = a medal.

Another world class design job from Mike Bone, brought to life by Fiona McCarthy's lovely copy. See the complete thing here.

Medal making

As well as having a team of supermums feverishly sewing bunting together we have 4 teams of parents making medals which will be given to the children on the day for completing tasks. Medal making instructions here.

We have a poster!

As well as creating an amazong logo for the event, one of our superdads, Mike Bone has designed a poster.

Fiona McCarthy has written the most magical copy with a hidden message for the children to discover.

Yes it's really coming together perfectly.

Sponsors confirmed to help make our event reality

Great news in that we have managed to get sponsorship for the event to compliment the money pledged by parents and the PTA.

Creative marketing agency EHS 4D have signed up as the main sponsor - their Head of Creative, Nigel Clifton said “our team are queuing up to get involved in this project and help inspire a future generation of creatives”. 

A team from EHS 4D will create and run a creative activity on the day.

Other supporting companies are Beaconbrands, Coptic Street Studio and Webb Architects to whom we are truly grateful. We really couldn't do it without you.
