Easter Egg Hunt 2008

Despite the snow at The Easter Egg Hunt it was a fantastic. Special super thanks to the PTA for the refreshments - brilliant in the cold and wet snow! 67 children took part in this event, solving clues hidden all around the playgrounds and field, looking for the Golden egg, taking part in Egg and spoon races (for parents too) and entering their decorated rabbit into the competition. Well done to everyone.

Egg and Spoon Winners
4 and under - Joel H
5 and 6 year olds - Connie M
7, 8 and 9 year olds - Raza C

Mums egg and spoon winner was Sue Bradley...well done
Dad's push the potato race was won by Phil Reynolds

Who found the Golden egg this year? Flora B, well done!

Special thanks from the Easter Bunny (a.k.a Mrs Cooper) to Holly (chief whistle blower), Velvet and Susan, Bruno, Oscar, Hector and Aurora, who must surely be future Easter Bunnies in-the-making, for helping me so kindly either to set up and take down.

Lovely to see so many whole familes out, enjoying this event!


For those that missed it, or the Dads that took part, you can view a film of the Dads version of the Egg and spoon race...the whole idea was to use your body to swing the spud and knock it over the line, not hold your string and do it with your hand. NOT easy for me to film and ensure fair play took place. But well done to everyone who delighted their watching family by taking part.
