First of all thanks to all of you who visited our stall at the May Bank Holiday village party. Kate and I enjoyed meeting all the children who took part in the panto inspired party games and encouraging the mums, dads and grandparents to sign up to the upcoming drama workshops (more details below).
If you missed our Braunston Bugle announcement there were 198 magic beans in Jack’s bean jar and Long John Silver’s Treasure was to the south of the old windmill (just off the high street). There were some funny attempts to pin the tail on Daisy the Pantomime Cow!
Kate gave a talk to the Local History Society at their May meeting inspired by a fantastic archive which the School staff found in one of their cupboards. Amazingly the 1923 class register and Headmaster’s log book had survived the move from the original school site – the village hall – to the new school buildings. We now have a list of the 60 children who were temporarily signed onto the school register for the duration of the Boatmen’s strike so some of them have become characters in the school play. We have written this special for performance by Years 4,5 and 6. The log-book has given an insight into the character of the Headmaster. He found it a bit difficult to cope with such a big influx of children.
