Blackburn Gala Day

As you will be aware Blackburn Gala Day is fast approaching.  The theme this year is ‘Witches and Wizards’ and our school float will be based on ‘The Wizard of Oz.’

Please come along dressed as your favourite witch, wizard or character from The Wizard of Oz’ to help celebrate and create a fantastic atmosphere during the procession.  We hope that you are able to join us and walk with the school in the procession.

There will be room on the float for some nursery children and their accompanying adults.  These spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and if you wish your child to have a seat on the float please make your way to the float immediately after the crowning ceremony.

Please see letters issued from school/ nursery for more details.  (a.m nursery pupil’s letters will be issued tomorrow morning)

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
