HARVEST FESTIVAL: A donation of £48.21 was sent to the 'Tear Fund' following the sale of produce in Church.

FIRST SCHOOL: The last week of term was 'Technology Week'. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities provided for them during this week, from designing and building structures using only canes and rubber bands to creating their 'perfect bedroom' on the computer. It was lovely to watch them collaborating on the projects and achieving such splendid results and it is very obvious that the children gained a great deal from the week. Many parents volunteered their time and hard work to help make this week such a success. The parents association Friends of Eckington School (FOES) sponsored some of the week.

Future FOES events - Friday, November 8 - Auction of Promises, 8pm at The Bell Inn; Saturday, December 14 - FOES goes Crackers.
