The new Church Walk mural

Hello,

You might have noticed something big and bold while queueing up in Church Walk – yes, the Rude Studio mural is nearly complete (we’re hoping to finish it this Friday morning).

CHURCH WALK MURAL

We really hope you all like it and we would like to say a big thank you to Rude Studio (please do go a get a coffee – and a print perhaps! – from their lovely shop on Barbauld Rd) and all our volunteers – especially the Reception parents, without whom this mural wouldn’t have happened!

Here are some pictures of the work in progress:

It might just be a coincidence but we’ve a feeling there is less dog poo around since this has been up!

Next step is to work with the school so the children create some anti-dog poo and perhaps cyclist dismount posters to put up on each side of the alley. We are also hoping to perhaps plant some Mexican daisies on the sides of the alleyway.

HELP NEEDED!

FROGS were hoping to finish the decking in front of the blue container in the KS2 playground but the bad weather and various work commitments have delayed us.

The decking needs to be sanded down and oiled before it can be used; can anyone help with this or has access to a sanding machine we could borrow? Or knows someone skilled at this type of work, who would be happy to do this for a small fee in the next few days? Please let us know!

NEXT FROGS MEETING

The next FROGS meeting will be on Friday 16th July from 9-9.45am (it will be our last one this year). This will be held outdoors, in the garden if weather allows, or under the shelter of the blue container if it’s raining. FROGS don’t bite – please join us if you have any questions, suggestions or are thinking of helping organise one of our events next year. We’re keen to get as many people involved in our school charity and we’re always looking for new ideas for fundraising and events.

Please also look out for one last FROGS newsletter at the end of July. It will recap all the good work we’ve done this year and present the new enrichment club offers which FROGS has helped the school set up. The new after-school timetable is nearly ready, we’re just waiting for a couple of details and confirmations and will share it with you at the end of the term.

Thank you,

FROGS
