Marking the end of National Tree Week, Cottenham Village College invites you to the official unveiling of a new sculpture created by artist Wendy Briggs. The work has been inspired by the natural environment and by workshops with students and local residents.
Join us for this special event in which we will be wrapping the trees on the drive of the Village College with fabric, creating a temporary installation to celebrate trees and conservation.
Saturday 11 December
10.30am – 12.30: Tree dressing activity - come and help us wrap the trees in ribbons
1.00 – 2.00pm: Official unveiling of the new sculpture followed by refreshments
* In preparation for this event there will be a workshop for local residents on Saturday 4 December, 10.30 – 12.30. The idea is to stencil text, poems and messages about trees, nature and conservation onto large ribbons which will then be wrapped around the trees. All ages welcome – call into the College and take part.

- Next Visit by our French Guests
This year’s visit from members of the Avrillé Twinning Association will during the
weekend of 30-31 October and we have a busy and interesting time planned. We
will be welcoming our visitors on the evening of Friday 29th October at Cottenham
Village College (CVC) with drinks and canapés, which will have been cooked by
catering course pupils.
On Saturday we are hoping that some of our French guests will have bought some
paintings of their own to display at this year’s Art Exhibition, held at CVC. During
the afternoon families will be able to ‘do their own thing’ or can choose to take part
in some of the activities planned in Cottenham to celebrate 800 years of Rectors at
the church. On Saturday evening we are going to Cambridge Regional College where
the catering students will provide us with a 3-course dinner.
On Sunday morning, families are free again until 11 am when we will be providing a
selection of bread and soup at Landbeach Village Hall. We will also provide some
craft activities for youngsters and we hope very much that some of the children
from both Cottenham and Willingham primary schools will be able to join us. (Please
contact Anna Vining if you would like to attend this).
After the picnic we have planned a guided tour of Cambridge and some of the
colleges. The weekend will finish with families getting together in smaller groups
for supper. We will then say ‘Goodbye’ to our French families from CVC on the
morning of Monday 1 November.
We are going to have some new French families with children visit this year and we
are really keen to find some families, in particular with children in Years 5/6 who
would like to be involved, either for the whole weekend as a host family or to come
along for lunch at Landbeach Village Hall on Sunday morning. If you would be
interested in finding out more or taking part please contact Anna Vining on 01954
252432 or panda@vining.co.uk We would really love to hear from you.
