Been too hot to walk two nights this week. We have been out last night and this morning. From home to the pet shop in the next town. 3 miles round trip x 2 is another 6 miles. Plus a quick walk on Monday for me. Now we're at 26.6 miles. Lots of walks still to do. Please sponsor us through the school office.

Thank you for your support with my sponsored dog walk. Please remember every penny raised will go to the school fund. The last couple of days have been too hot for dogs so we have not walked. So far we have walked 17 miles. Some walks have been local, some over the fields and Saturday morning was at the canal. Luna loves a dip in the water .

No additional checks are made and this is purely to see whether we can allocate this funding to you: Free school meals (somerset.gov.uk) For eligible families, it means you receive the support you are entitled to as well as Hindhayes receiving the correct funding into the budget at this extremely challenging period for all schools.
