The whole school celebrated Roald Dahl`s birthday by reading Roald Dahl books and stories. We learnt about the life of Roald Dahl and his family and we all wore something yellow (Roald Dahl`s favourite colour!).

On Friday 5th September F.O.S.S. organised a `Glam Slam` event which was a storming success. A great time was had by every one in 70`s attire with dancing, singing and merry-making. The evening raised a whopping £840 pounds for F.O.S.S. who use this money to support children`s activities at the school.

Well done FOSS and everyone who took part.

Pupils from Selsted School support the Hawkinge Gardening Society's Summer Show by entering into the childrens category "Make an Animal from a Vegetable" and Harvest a 3rd prize for one of their entries.
