assembly with a parade, competition and

singing.

invited to make an Easter bonnet for the

parade. With the help of the staff, the

children will parade their bonnets on the

stage in front of the rest of the school.

Please bring entries to school on the day

and NOT before.

Key Stage One (Year 1 & Year 2) will take part

in a “Famous Egghead” competition. Children

must decorate a hard boiled egg in an egg

cup, as a famous person. Please bring the

entries in on the day. The entry needs to be

labelled with the famous person’s name,

child’s name and class. There will be a prize

awarded for the best entry in each class.

Both competitions will be judged by a special
