For homework this week Mrs Coleman would like the children to carry out a bit of research on ‘Plains Gala Day’. I am looking for children to be asking parents/grandparents/other family members about their knowledge and experiences of the Gala Day, past and present. We will be using this information to widen our knowledge and look at the changes from over the years. Photographs would be greatly received too! Children should record their research in their homework jotters.

The children in this class will be responsible for decorating the Plains Primary Gala Day float this year, and our theme will be ‘The Olympic Games’.

If possible, we are also looking for volunteer members of the Gala Day Committee to come in and talk to the class and answer some questions about the Gala Day this year.
