Fine Piece Phenomenon EXCLUSIVE by our Community Reporters, Matthew, James and John The pupils of St Peter’s enjoyed their "fine pieces" for snack today. It was P1’s turn to supply the goodies and Mrs Forrest came in early to sell them to each class. As usual, there were cakes and biscuits. KitKats always seem to be very popular. Mrs Kelly, our School administrator, told us that there are twenty "fine piece" days each year. About £18 is raised each time. We asked the Headteacher, Mrs Lyden, about the original Baking Days in the school. She told us that mums and dads used to bake things at home for their children to bring in to school. It changed to "Fine Piece Day" because somebody took goat’s cheese in to a school in the NorthEast and several pupils got e-coli. Schools have to be very careful now about what the children eat so we can’t have home baking any more. Who made up the name, "Fine Piece Day"?

Chocolates, flowers, cards, perfume, souvenirs, mother ring. Chocolates, flowers, cards, perfume, souvenirs, "mother" ring. Whatever you get, it’s the thought that counts, and gifts made by little hands warm every parent’s heart. By Alexandria |
