BIG THANK YOU to everyone who bought refreshments last week at parents evening. We raised £65.00!!

If you’d like to get involved in the FSA there is a meeting on the 15 March. Starts at 7.30pm in the Royal Oak, Long Bennington.

Do come along. Everyone is more than welcome and more hands make light work!

Watch out for information from the FSA on the Mother’s Day Shop and the Yr 3/4 production.

Thanks, The FSA

Great news! We have enough volunteers to offer refreshments. Thank you ever so much to those who have volunteered.

So you can plan ahead….

Tea, coffee or squash is 50p; free biscuit with every drink J

A HUGE thank you to all the children and staff who took part in World Book Day.

The children looked amazing in their costumes (and so did the staff!) We had a fantastic day!

Mr Korcz was our judge for the day and took great delight in visiting all the classrooms  and awarding prizes for his favourite costumes. We had competitions in the library run by our brilliant librarians.  The children could match the staff to their favourite book characters, take part in a scavenger hunt and turn their teachers into story book characters. Mr Haigh got all creative and invited children to come and help him to decorate Mr Twit's beard and the Roly Poly Bird's tail.  Then in the afternoon we had whole school story time, the children were able to listen to three stories around the school read by staff. Year 6 children took their buddies with them and it was lovely to see them enjoying the stories we had chosen and hopefully some of them want to carry on reading the stories that they heard.

If your child took home a competition entry they need to be returned to Mrs Mills by Thursday 9th March, there are prizes to be won!

Finally a MASSIVE THANK YOU to YOU our fantastic parents/carers! Without you we couldn't have had this fabulous day.  Your support is amazing. You dressed your children in such brilliant costumes and supported our theme for the day. I really appreciate all your support in creating such a magical and memorable day for your children. THANK YOU 

Mrs Mills

Our cake winners this week are Oliver Kitchener - Class 10 and Mollie Ludlum Class 6.

We raised just under £50 this week, so thank you all so much for buying tickets!

Many thanks to the parents of Otis Williams and Max Willis who baked such scrummy looking cakes - all of us were very jealous that we didn't get to take a cake home tonight.

Don't forget your 20 pences next week - two more beauties up for raffle.

Huge thanks to everyone who sent in money for raffle tickets for the very first cake raffle. We raised a staggering £65! This is amazing and all proceeds will be going in to school funds to provide key resources to support learning across school.

The cake was won by Finn Jones in Class 9 - Well done!

This week we will have two cakes - so even more reason to buy a ticket, double the chances of winning.

Shout out – help needed for parents evening!

Dear Parents and Carers

What’s the one thing that would help make parents evening that bit easier? A hot drink and a biscuit I hear you say!!

Well the FSA (Friends of the School Association) would like to come to the rescue by offering refreshments but we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers to help man the refreshment table for just 1 hour at a time. Each evening we’ll need a minimum of 6 volunteers to make this happen: parents, carers, grandparents all welcome!

All we need you to do it let us know which day and time you can do. You can do this by Parentmail or on email by the 3^rd March.

We’ll then let everyone know if refreshments will be available by the 6^th March.

If this works well we’ll look to offer refreshments at other school events.

Thanks

The FSA

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are hoping to start a Cake Raffle to raise funds for some projects we wish to undertake around school.

The idea is that we set up a rota for parents providing a cake on a Friday morning (bought or made, either is fine!) and then school council sell tickets on a Friday morning play and last play to the children (and staff!) for 20p per ticket. At the end of last play the winning ticket is pulled and the winner gets to take the cake home for eating over the weekend. There will be no limit as to how many tickets can be bought, but if every child in the school buys at least 1 ticket a week, that could be £200 per month that we can raise.

All we need is a number of willing volunteers to put their names down for the cake rota (the more of us there are, the fewer times our names will come up on the rota) and bring a cake in on the nominated day. I am happy to put my name down for Week 1 – Friday 24^th February.

If you feel that you are able to support this, please fill in the attached slip and we will organise the rota. This will be distributed ahead of half term so you have plenty of notice for your turn and also we will put it on the website under FSA if you ever need to access it.

Many thanks for your continued support – I look forward to tasting… I mean viewing all those lovely cakes.
