Scarecrow Trail for families in the community…
This FODS event is getting bigger every year, so we are giving you plenty of planning time!
This Scarecrow Trail will run from Saturday 23rd May to Monday 25th May.
The plan is for willing people to make a scarecrow to stand somewhere in the village - this
could be outside your house or even looking out of a window. If you don’t live in Dilton we
can organise a home for your scarecrow somewhere in the village.
Scarecrow Trail sheets will be sold for £3 per family and the challenge will be to find each
Scarecrow.
However, in order to organise this exciting event we need your help please, so if you would
like a chance of winning the prize for the favourite Scarecrow, it’s time to get planning.
This year the theme is ‘Famous People’
Please complete the slip below if you will be making a Scarecrow
and return to the school office by Friday 1st May

School Uniform Reminder
We seek parents’ co-operation in sending the children to school wearing appropriate clothing.
Our school uniform consists of a white polo shirt, maroon sweatshirt or cardigan (with school
logo) and black or grey trousers/skirt. In the summer, a red and white gingham check dress
and plain white socks for the girls and black or grey shorts and grey or black socks for the boys.
Shoes should be black, open-toed shoes can only be worn with socks.
P.E. clothing is a change of white shirt, navy shorts and trainers/daps, which must be kept in
school for the whole week. A drawstring bag is still the most suitable item in which to keep
this equipment. Space on and around the children’s pegs is very limited indeed.
Please ensure that all uniform is clearly named. You will appreciate that lost
unnamed items of school uniform are so similar that ownership can be
untraceable.
