English: Youngest And Oldest Pupil - 70 Years

Robert Heath and Hasfsa Shekeel cutting the school cake

In July 2005 Nottingham Academy decided, to hold a picnic and summer fair to celebrate 70 Years. The whole school, parents, ex-pupils and invited guests gathered together on the field at 2pm. There was entertainment, Year four children treated the people to a display of country dancing. Year five took people right back to the 70s with a dance routine to T Rex's "i love to boogie". This was followed by a fancy dress parade and picnic. We sang Happy Birthday to Jesse Boot School while 70 children held paper candles.

Robert Heath former pupil from 1935 and Hasfsa Shekeel, the youngest pupil at the school in 2005 cut the giant birthday cake! A piece was given to all of the 540 students on roll as well as the staff. Robert Heath sadly passes away shortly before the Jesse Boot History Booklet was publish in 2005. To end the picnic 70 balloons were released into the Bakersfield skies. After school the summer fair began with lots of stalls, games and refreshments for all.
