Women's Institute - Inspiring Women Day

The WI are celebrating 100 years since it's inception next year and as part of this a baton is being passed from one WI to another.  It was Marston's turn last Wednesday and we became involved in their celebrations.  The WI used to meet in the school and they lent us all their old minute books so we could put these on a display.  The whole school visited their event and the WI made the children a special WI cup cake each.  We spent time in school finding out about the WI and Inspiring Women - Class 3's blog has some more information on this.

 

Waiting for the arrival of the Baton - we had put up bunting to celebrate!

The Baton leaves to its next WI - a tea dance!

 

We all learnt so much and enjoyed being a part of the community!
