The Granville Fete was held on Saturday celebrating 65 happy years at The Granville.

 

The weather was not what was hoped for.  It was  a dull and drizzly day, but this did not deter anyone and least of all the  'Friends of Granville' committee members who worked so hard to organise the event.  Past and present pupils and staff, parents, grandparents and friends all joined in the fun and a large amount of money was raised for the school. A very big thank you goes to all those who helped before and on the day.

 

The pictures below tell the story.

FOG decided that this year they would move the 'Secret Santa' and Santa's Grotto to coincide with party day.

 

Two parents, Mrs Tudor and Mrs Rodgers (Santa's elves!), put in a tremendous amount of hard work and effort to transform the DT Room and the French Room into a Secret Santa gift room and Santa's Grotto.  Classes took turn to visit and select very attractive and beautifully  wrapped gifts for their families.  They then proceeded through to Santa's Grotto to have their gifts bagged by a willing team of parent helpers, before visiting Father Christmas in his grotto.
