Upchurch is twinned with Ferques-Elinghen in Pas de Calais, France. |
School visit to Ferques – On 25th March, years 5 and 6 from Holywell School visited one of the schools in Ferques, this time to Elinghen. As usual, the coach was funded by the Upchurch Twinning Group. As it was in the week leading up to Easter, the Twinning Group sent over small chocolate treats for the children in France with whom our Upchurch children would be spending their day. Many thanks to Upchurch Co-op for helping us pay for this seasonal gift.
16th June – visit to Hever Castle by a group from Ferques – Some of our French friends will be coming to Kent for a day trip on Sunday 16th June. They would love to see any of us from Upchurch at Hever Castle that day.
Sunday 14th July 2013– Bastille Day Fair in Ferques. We always have a stall at this street fair – do plan a day out over there and come and find us.
Sunday 1st September 2013 – SPORTS DAY! In Upchurch – do put the date in your diaries. This promises to be a day of fun and games and we will be welcoming friends of all ages from Ferques. With many thanks to Upchurch Cricket Club, this event will be held at their grounds on Holywell Lane and we look forward to using their wonderful facilities (including their bar!). More details will follow as the year unfolds.
