Kabubbu Visit
On the last day of term a group of children from the Kabubbu School in Uganda visited. After performing some of their songs they socialised with Years 5 & 6 and joined the rest of the school for lunch. The Quicken Trust, a local charity which supports the education of these African children, was presented with a cheque made up of donations received at the school's Christmas concerts and carol service.
The Kabubbu children sing:
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
Song With Drums 1
Song With Drums 2
A Goodbye
Mr Alexander contemplates his Goodbye card in the final assembly of the term after completing a highly successful teaching practice in Year 2. We wish Mr Alexander all the very best in his future career.

Christmas Fair
The first major event organised by Melanie Izon and the new committee of the Friends of Hawkes Farm was a resounding success.
Christmas Fair takings exceeded £2000, with final funds raised (after expenses) expected to be not much under that figure. The fair was opened by the Town Mayor (delegating for MP Charles Hendry, who was suffering with scarlet fever). Just before 2pm the queue stretched into Hawks Road and took over 40 minutes to pass through
the entrance.

Big Sing
At 2.45pm precisely the whole of KS2 took part in the BigSing, a national attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records by having more than one million voices singing the same song simultaneously.
