ST MATTHEW’S DAY CHURCH SERVICE On Thursday 21st September at 2pm, with members of the Mother’s Union, we are holding a service in church to celebrate St Matthew’s Day. EVERYONE WELCOME TO JOIN US Tea and biscuits in school after the service. Recipe Book Fundraiser   St Matthews Dream Team has come up with an idea to create a school and community recipe book. We thought this would be a great way to share mealtime ideas with other parents and members of the community to promote healthy eating, and to encourage our children to take an active interest in cooking. We all have a family favourite when it comes to mealtimes - the dish that always has the kids scraping their plates! It might be Granny's fish pie or Dad’s fajitas... so what's yours? With childhood obesity on the increase it's more important than ever to encourage children to eat - and cook - healthily. By sharing their favourite dishes, children will be desperate to try out each other's recipes. This means more help (if you can call it that!) in the kitchen, and you never know, you might make some exciting culinary discoveries together!  The Dream Team will be writing letters to deliver to members of the community and ask them for their contributions to the book. Hopefully the book will be available to buy it in time for Christmas, making it a great gift. So if you have a recipe that you would like to have included in the book please send it in to school. Thank you The Dream Team and Miss Conway
