Christmas Fair
The PTA will be running the Christmas Fair outside this year, in a Covid secure way. The fair will start at 2:45pm on Thursday 9th December, straight after the Y1/2/3 Christmas Production. It will continue after school, so please bring some pennies to spend when you collect the children. All proceeds will go towards buying more playtime equipment for the children. Many thanks for your support.
Come as You Please
We will be having a “Come as You Please” day on Friday 3rd December. The children can wear their own clothes for a small donation towards the Christmas Fair. Instead of money, we are asking the children to donate an item in the following colours, so that hampers can be made up for raffle prizes. The donation colours for each year group are:
Nursery: Silver or Sparkly
Reception: Red
Year 1: Blue
Year 2: Yellow
Year 3: Orange
Year 4: Green
Year 5: Pink
Year 6: Purple
