Today we had a wonderfully successful joint Friendship Fair between Stratford College and Stratford National School. The TY students played host to pupils and students from both schools and participated in a wide variety of activities. Activities included a getting your photo taken with your new Fringo pal; making a friendship bracelet, playing boardgames with your friends, playing Pie Face and the chance to win two cinema tickets when you nominate your friend for an act of kindness. Every student donated money at the Friendship Fair in aid of the ISPCC. The Friendship Fair was part of Stratford's Friendship Week, when the highlight was receiving the ISPCC Anti-Bullying Shield flag.

"I really enjoyed the Friendship Fair, it was a great way to get to know other years. It was really fun and it was great helping out the Primary School when they came. Everyone was really happy and it was a brilliant day."
