ST STEPHEN'S GOT TALENT
We are the first to tell you are children are ALL amazingly talented, so when we heard FOSS was organising a St Stephen's Got Talent to showcase some of this star quality, we were thrilled! Here is a report of this week's shows from FOSS and they promise more showbiz content on these fantastic nights next week ...
Tuesday's Talent Show was a roaring success! Thank you so much to Laura Queen for initiating and leading on this new FOSS event!! What a brilliant way to bring our wonderful community together to celebrate our children. So much heart has gone into all the rehearsals - Laura makes it look easy. Indeed, the hours she has spent with the children to choreograph their performances has not gone unnoticed and we are so grateful to her for believing in our children and helping them shine! With a special thanks to Gemma Dearn and Kateryna Demchenko who have been there every step of the rehearsal journey these last few weeks! They are truly the Dream Team for a new FOSS event that we hope will make it onto the annual FOSS event calendar!
Lots of love the FOSS team xx
MORE STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK ....
Last week we brought you pictures of days Monday to Wednesday of the fabulous, Staff Appreciation Week, but we could not resist just one more snap of the delicious cakes our parents and children baked for us. Indeed, FOSS and our generous parents ended the week in delicious style with a bountiful salad lunch on Thursday and the sweetest selection of cakes to round off our week on a sugar high on Friday. Thank you so much. We all had the loveliest of weeks.
Check out Imogen and her wonderful homemade bunny cushion, crafted by her own fair hands at our lunchtime, Sew What, sewing club. Well done Imogen.
