FOMPS

This Weekend..............

Summer Picnic - Bunting

At the summer picnic we will be celebrating outdoor play and we would love it if the children could help us to decorate the field by contributing a flag to our bunting.

We would love to see their designs which represent what they love about being outdoors and playing.

Download the template below (It fits on to A4 Paper) or ask for a copy from the school office.

You can use any scrap material you have around- an old t-shirt or pillow case- cut out the flag shape.

Designs can then be drawn or painted direct onto the bunting flag.

Completed flags to be returned to school office by 5 June so we can begin sewing them all together!

We look forward to seeing all their amazing designs
