Thirty Sixth Annual Show - Saturday 9th July 2011

To be held in the Marquee on Keyworth Playing Fields

Infant and Junior Schools of Keyworth

Special Feature Classes

We are once more running feature classes for schools as part of the Horticultural, Arts and Crafts Show and would like to invite your school to take part. The classes continue to be age/year related and are reserved specifically for entries of individual work produced by children whilst at school. Schools will not be asked to work on other classes in the young peoples section of the show although any encouragement to pupils to do so would be very welcome; open classes for young people are reserved for work produced by them outside school. Entries will be collected during w/c 4th July ready for judging on 8th July by an independent adjudicator.

The special Schools Feature Classes are being sponsored by the Keyworth and District Arts Association and the Rushcliffe Borough Council. The theme for this year is Recycling, Sustainability and the Environment and we hope this is topical, will interest the children, stimulate their imagination and provide teachers with a subject linking to aspects of the curriculum.

Show Class 87. Reception Year – A picture or collage of a wriggly snake

Show Class 88. Years 1 & 2 – A collage of a fearsome monster using recycled bits and pieces

Show Class 89. Years 3 & 4 – Design a poster to encourage recycling

Show Class 90. Years 5 & 6 – Design an eco-house

The main purpose of holding the Schools Feature Classes is to involve the schools in this annual community event and allow the children and the schools to exhibit their skills to a wider audience. There will be prizes of £3, £2 and £1 respectively for first, second and third prizes awarded to the individual winning entrants in each of the four classes.
