Charles Holley was born in Lubbock, Texas, in September 1936. He learned to play the guitar and piano when he was still at school, and he started playing and singing with his best friend Bob Montgomery. When they left school, Charles and Bob got a job singing country music on the radio in Lubbock: they had their own half-hour radio show every Sunday afternoon. Later, Charles and his band – the Three Tunes – sang at concerts in Lubbock with Bill Haley and the Comets, and with Elvis Presley. In 1956, Charles changed his name to Buddy Holly, and signed a contract with Decca Records. In 1957, he wrote and recorded the song That’ll be the Day with his new band, the Crickets. This was his first number one hit, and over the next two years, Buddy wrote seven more Top Forty hits, including Peggy Sue, Oh Boy! and Maybe Baby. In 1958, Buddy married Elena Maria Santiago. He stopped working with the Crickets, and he and Elena went to live in New York. That winter, he went on a concert tour of the American Midwest. On February 3rd 1959, after a show in Clear Lake, Iowa, Buddy got on a plane with two other singers, to fly to their next concert in Minnesota. The plane left the airport at 2.00 in the morning, and crashed into a field a few minutes later. Everyone on the plane died.

School Journey, Friday 14 July Dear Parents, As you know, every year we take the children in Year 6 on a School Journey after they finish their summer examinations. This year we are going to Wales for the day. In the morning we are going to visit Chepstow Castle, which is the oldest castle in Britain, and in the afternoon we are going climbing in the Brecon Beacons. The bus is leaving the school car park at 7.30 in the morning, and we hope to be back at the school by 9.00 in the evening. Please bring your child to the school fifteen minutes early. Children do not have to wear school clothes, but they must have a good pair of shoes or trainers, a warm jumper and a coat (it can be wet and windy, even in July!) and – if it’s a sunny day – a hat and sun cream. At lunchtime, we’re having a picnic by the River Wye, so please give your child a packed lunch (sandwiches, fruit and a drink – not too many sweets and chocolates, please!). Please give your child breakfast before you leave home (they can’t eat on the bus). In the evening, we’re stopping at a motorway restaurant for dinner. Children must bring a pen and paper, and it’s a good idea to bring a (cheap!) camera. The cost of the journey is £25. This covers the return bus journey, the entrance ticket for the Castle, and dinner. Children can take some money to spend on presents, but not more than £5, please.
