Macmillan Big Coffee Morning
What an incredible start to the week last week. Whilst the rest of the school joined Mr Sample for morning assembly, the Form 4 parents joined their children for cake and coffee. The Big Coffee Morning was in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, a cause that touches the hearts of so many of our families, and the strength of feeling towards this cause was evident not only by the number of parents who attended, but by the sheer volume of cakes and biscuits that had been so generously baked and donated for the event. Such was the generosity of our multi-talented bakers that the Form 4s had to host a second cake stall at the end of the day to clear the cake pantry! A huge thank you to all the bakers and buyers who helped us raised a superb £424.45 for Macmillan.
Cundall’s Call My Bluff
Whilst Cundall prides itself on offering a broad and varied curriculum for our pupils, it was a lucky gathering of Cundall parents who whose educational horizons were broadened earlier this month when they came together for a Call My Bluff style wine tasting evening. In the cosy setting of the School Library and with a truly fabulous selection of wines provided by Johnnie Pearson, the team of wine ‘buffs’ (Johnnie, Richard Notman and Simon Vale) entertained the assembled guests with their novel and often hilarious appraisals of each bottle, the novelty and hilarity increasing exponentially as the evening (comprising four red, two whites and an increasingly redundant spittoon) progressed. A huge thank you to the Friends of Cundall who made the evening possible, to those who provided the scrumptious cheese boards and nibbles to accompany the wines; to those who so generously donated raffle prizes, and to all those parents who supported what proved to be a truly entertaining – and educational – evening.
