End of Another School Year

Well here we are in the last week of the school year.  A time to have some fun and celebrate all that we have achieved over the year.

But it is also a sad time as we say goodbye to all those children moving onto 'big school'.  We hope that everyone has enjoyed their time at Springfield, as we have really enjoyed you being here!!  We would like to wish all our leavers lots of luck for their new schools, but we know they are all going to do fantastically.

We have had our Leavers Concert in which all the children were fantastic, and we even had some solo performers!  So a big well done to all of those for being brave and singing on their own (even if we did have quite a few renditions of The Rainbow Song!).

This year sees the end of an era when we say goodbye to the Dawkins/Saville clan who have had 6 children attend pre-school over a 12 year period.  Barbara Saville has been a loyal supporter, and friend, to Springfield and her very generous donation on Tuesday was very gratefully received and appreciated.  We shall miss seeing you Barbara, but know that you are always welcome to pop in and say hello!

We would like to wish all our children, parents, staff and committee a safe, happy and fun summer holidays and look forward to seeing lots of you, and some new faces, in September!

First day back is Thursday 5th September!!

A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported this event.  To those who helped set-up and clear away, to those manning the stalls, to all those who donated bottles and sweet cups, to the companies and local businesses that donated some fabulous raffle prizes and most importantly to everyone who came along and put their hand in their pocket and spent their hard earned cash, it really is very much appreciated.
