FOSH Quiz Night
It was great to see so many people at the FOSH quiz night on
27 February. A great time was had by all and a very close
contest! A fantastic £450 was raised for the school.
Red Nose Day 13 March
Our Red Nose Day this year was based
around the theme of ‘Silly Faces’. Our day
started with staff and pupils wearing red
clothes and some wearing silly faces. We
all spent the morning getting ready for our
special assembly. We had cakes to
decorate with funny faces and photos of
ourselves to disguise with different
eyebrows, hair etc. Our assembly was
great fun. Parents attended and all the staff and children assembled to
be part of “The Great Sunshine House Bake Off”. Special silly faced
cakes were created by classes and parents. The cakes were amazing
and were auctioned off at the end of the assembly. The children
paraded their funny faces and their class cake to everyone. Then our
judges had the difficult job of choosing
the winner. Our judges, Linzie, Claire,
Carole and Michaela found it very
difficult to
choose.
After
tastes of
all the
cakes the
winner was Maple class! We are delighted
to announce that we made £223.19 for
Comic Relief.

Easter Assembly 25 March
More fun was had this year at
our Easter Assembly. There

It’s that time of year again and we are
looking forward to spending time in our
sensory garden and playground.
Can you help us to tidy, dig, weed, paint
and clean our garden ready for the summer?
Last year it was a beautiful day and lots of
you came to help, thank you!
We all enjoyed a lovely cream tea at the end
of the day.
This year we would like to do the same and make our garden
really shine!
Mark the date in your diary and we will send you more
