Children in Need
Children in Need is on Friday 13th November. We are raising money by asking children to
come to school on that day dressed as a superhero for a donation of £1.00. If children have
Pudsey ears or T-shirts these would also be lovely to see.
Cake Sales
The school council are also hoping to raise some extra money to split between the Children
in Need charity and to go towards buying some new books for our school library by
holding some class cake sales. Each class will bring in and sell their cakes to the other
children at playtimes. There will be a prize for class that raises the most money from their
cake sale! Cakes will be sold at 20p each and children can buy cakes from the cake sales
each week if they would like to, not just their own class.
Please see the table below for details of when your child's class will need to bring in cakes:
