Ball Run
We are holding a Ball Run (hopefully during the Spring
Fair). Balls cost £1 and tickets will be on sale from 15th
May. There will be a cash prize for 1st place.
Non-uniform day – Friday 22nd May
Following the success of the November non-uniform day, we are
holding another on the last day of this half term. In exchange for
the pupils wearing non-uniform, we would ask them to bring in an
item for raffle hampers.
Class 1 – Sweets and Treats Hamper
Class 2 – Food Hamper (wine, crisps, nuts etc.)
Class 3 – Gardening Hamper (seeds, tools, gloves, pots etc.)
Class 4 – Holiday/Summer Hamper (bucket, spade, bubbles,
beach toys, picnic equipment, sun cream etc.)
Class 5 – Bottle Hamper (any bottles!)
We don’t want parents to spend lots of
money on items for the hamper. Lots of
small items would be better than a few larger
ones!
The Spring Fair is back!
On Saturday 13th June, we are holding a Spring Fair. There will be a range of stalls
including: bottle stall, bric-a-brac, face painting, cake stall, books, scarves and plants.
There will also be a bouncy castle and raffle. Refreshments will also be
served. Assistance running the stalls would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Karen or Nicki (in the office) if you can help.
We would also greatly appreciate donations of cakes, plants, bottles, bric-a-brac etc.
Please can this be brought into school on Friday 12th June.
