Current Events

Halloween Disco
Thank you to everyone who attended the Halloween Disco which was a great success. It was lovely to see so many of the new families there as well. Thank you also to everyone for making such an effort with your costumes, especially the grownups! The hot dogs and cakes went down well and although the jacket potatoes were not so popular all the hot food not eaten was taken to the soup kitchen who were hugely appreciative of the food which fed around 40 people on a very cold night. Thank you to Jamie Thompson for the idea and for taking the hot food to them. A profit of £126.43 was made.

Advent Workshop - Wed 24th November 3:15 - 4:45pm
We would like to invite the children to come to an advent workshop which will include a mixture of Arts & Crafts based around the story of Christmas and the lead up through advent. Slips are attached and should be returned to school by Friday 19th November 2010. If there are any parents who can help on the day this would be greatly appreciated.

Christmas Fair Saturday 27th November 2:00 - 4:00pm
This Year we are holding a Christmas Fair at the school and inviting some outside stall holders to come and sell Christmas gifts and crafts. As part of the Christmas Fair The Friends will be running refreshments, a cake stall, a book stall, a toy stall and a children’s lucky dip and would be grateful for any help in the preparation and running of the day.

Please can we have donations of the following:

• Good quality Books;
• Good quality Toys;
• Items for the Adults and Children’s Hampers for the Raffle;
• Cakes, Biscuits mince pies etc for the Cake Stall (on Friday 26th or on the Saturday morning);
• Small toys, sweets, pens, etc to go into the pots for the children’s lucky dip;

With the exception of the Cakes please can any donations be handed into school as soon as possible so that we can start to prepare the Hampers and items for the stalls.

As with the workshop any help either in preparation or on the day itself would be really appreciated and we would ask everyone to let family and friends know about the fair.

Slips will be out in the book bags nearer the time.
