And they’re also being asked to avoid lighting camp fires and take great care with smouldering cigarettes and discarded glass, which could magnify sunlight. With weeks of hot weather and little rain, grass and undergrowth are extremely dry across the county. Staffordshire County Council has been in talks with Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and is applying the ‘no barbecue’ request at all its countryside parks and can take a fun activity to share with other groups. There will be a celebration campfire at 7pm and disco at 9pm. Camping and refreshments available at normal rates.

So they got their heads together to come up with ways to win one of the coveted Blue Peter Badges and decided to write apoem, story or create alabelled picture about asubject they love. With the support of aYear 5 teacher, 26 pupils submitted their entry, along with a50word letter that explained why they felt they deserved abadge and what it would mean to them.
