Small School... BIG Achievements! News from Emberton School
What a lovely Easter we all had! The sun
shone (some of the time!) and the
children at Emberton School looked
magnificent in their beautiful Easter hats.
Rabbits, chicks, spring flowers and even a
few Easter eggs could be seen on our
traditional Easter bonnet parade around the
Bluebell Woods using various art media. The results are amazing and can be seen around our classrooms.

clubs who share the Olney Recreation Ground with us. Most encouraging of all was that we attracted a large number of non-bowlers who were eager to learn the ‘noble art’.

This, of course, was not limited to our guests on Open Day. Anyone who would like to ‘have a go’ will be welcome as our newest members will verify.
Please do not be put off by the misinterpretation that bowling is an ‘old folks game’. Most of the internationals are young and they must have started at club level. Olney Bowling Club has recruited some younger members recently so you do not need a bus pass to qualify.
