Harvington

Year five in Harvington First School have been proving themselves versatile recently. They had a first aid day which was led by a volunteer from St John Ambulance, and the children learnt how to help the ill and injured. They also participated in the language festival at the Evesham Arts Centre, where they performed a French song which had been composed for them from vocabulary learnt in recent French lessons. Make a date for the St James’ Church Harvington Village Fete on Saturday 1 June. Now is the time to decide what you will enter in the show marquee.
