Celebrations Planned for 100 Years of Schooling at Bovey Tracey Primary
Tue 3 May 2011
Bovey Tracey Primary School is
preparing a feast of celebrations and events to commemorate its Centenary this
year.
The school first opened its doors
on 2nd June 1911 and since then has been educating generations of
children from the town and surrounding area.
On the 25th and 26th
of May, tours of the school will be undertaken, with displays showing the
history and many changes that have taken place to the school during this
period. In addition, visitors will be
treated to musical and drama performances by the pupils. A quiz evening open to
the general public run by the school association will also take place on the
evening of the 26th.
The grand finale of the
proceedings will be held on the 27th of May with an “It’s A
Knockout” sports fun day for members of the school, followed by a céilidh which
will be open to the community with tickets being sold in advance, details of
which will follow nearer the time

Lets get you all started with this one&
When the
old swimming pool was there a friend of mine thought it would be a brilliant
idea to put armbands on his feet, and attempt to walk on water. So, encouraged
by his class mates he stepped into the deep end to test his theory. Immediately
flipping upside down with feet on the surface, and body under water, a very
panicked teacher (who had no idea what he was attempting) had to jump in and
rescue him – all much to the amusement of the watching class. It was only later
after getting an almighty telling off he realised just how badly flawed this
theory was!
