YOUNG ART EAST ANGLIA COMPETITION & EXHIBITION
We have recently received information about the 2012 Young Art East Anglia competition.
If your child would like to take part in this, they should produce a piece of art work on the theme of “Fun & Games”, using any medium except bulky collage.
It should be no larger than A3 size and must not be mounted or laminated.
The entry must be accompanied by a minimum donation of £2.00 which will help to raise money for Cancer Research UK, and the child’s name, year and school name must be printed clearly on the back.
First, second and third prizes are to be awarded in each age-group (Reception to Year 2, Years 3-4, Years 5-6) and all prize-winning entries, as well as a percentage of pictures from each school, will be included in an exhibition at the Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh from 9-11 March 2012.
Postcards of all exhibited work will be for sale at the exhibition.
To have exhibited artwork returned it will need to be purchased at the Gallery.
Please hand all entries in to our own school office by Friday 13 January 2012.

PET SERVICE
The clergy at St Michael’s Church would like to say how lovely it was to see the pets at their service last week, and that as a result of people's generosity they have been able to send a cheque for £25 to St Mungos. They plan to have another pet service next October.
