Dear Parents and Carers, Walk of Life - Saturday 12th May 2018 We are very proud that Mrs Towner and Mr Duncan are taking part in the Walk of Life on Saturday to raise money for the RUH. This involves walking 26 miles along the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath. Mr Duncan has promised to wear a satin superhero cape and mask to encourage generous sponsorship. Please ask in reception for more information about the course and to sign a sponsorship form. Alternatively, you can sponsor online:

Royal Wedding High Tea – Friday 18th May We are very pleased to have received an invitation from St Michael’s Junior School to join them for a joint celebration of the forthcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Friday 18th May. Instead of eating lunch at school, we will head down to the (sunny) field at St Michael’s Junior School and enjoy a Royal High Tea (see menu above). Families are very welcome to bring along a picnic and join their children. Everyone, especially the children, is encouraged to wear RED,

patriotic style. We will have an early collection of children at 2:00pm to mark the occasion. More details to follow. Due to the Royal High Tea on Friday, the school lunch on Thursday 17th May will be Fish Fingers & Chips.
