  • Village Meeting & Boots and Scoots

    Tue 21 May 2013

    Well done to all the children who came to the Queen Camel Annual Village Meeting on Friday evening.  There were so many comments from members of the community about their lovely singing outside the hall.

    Thank you to Rosemary Heath-Coleman, Chairman of the Parish Council, and members of the Environment Group and Frontrunner Steering Group for my beautiful hydrangea. It looks lovely on my patio.

    Thank you to Phil Strong for another fantastic Boots and Scoots on Saturday. There were so many children and parents scooting around the playground, it looked like a roller disco!

    Now you can buy a Boots and Scoots T-shirt! See newsletter for details.

    Next Boots and Scoots is on 29th June. Come along and have fun! And it’s FREE!

  • Yeovil Town Victory Parade

    Tue 21 May 2013

    What a fantastic time we had at Huish Park today! The whole school lined up outside the ground and were privileged to meet all the players and manager, Gary Johnson. We were the only school at the ground to see the team set off on their open topped bus on their victory parade around Yeovil. The players  spent a lot of time chatting to the children, signing autographs and having their photographs taken with them. Some of the children even got to hold the cup!

    We were interviewed by BBC Somerset Radio reporters and filmed by BBC TV. We also had many photographs taken by the Western Gazette. Look out for the school on Points West this evening!
