Outdoor Classroom
We hope you have all had a chance to look at our lovely outdoor classroom that has been built in the Rose Garden. Thank you to all the parents who have supported PTA events over the last year – without you, this project would not have been possible!
This year we would like every child to fill a jam jar with goodies to be used as a prize at the Christmas Fair. You can fill it with whatever you like - sweets, bouncy balls, toy cars, stickers etc. In fact, the more imaginative the better as the best jam jar will win a prize!The contents of the jars don't have to be brand new - old toys in good condition are fine. If you don't have any empty jam jars at home please do ask a PTA member as we have been saving them!Please bring your filled jam jar into school by 15 November
Senior Common Room
We are currently refurnishing the Senior Common Room and need your donations.
The theme is red tartan, so if you have any items at all in tartan that you think might be useful, please do let us know. Also any items of furniture such as beanbags, pictures, picture frames, bookshelves, tables etc would be greatly appreciated and can be collected, Contact the PTA or see Camilla or Janine for details.
Recycling
Over the past few years we have raised £900 in commission from recycling printer cartridges. We now want to extend our recycling collections to mobiles , cameras and MP3 players so if you have any old mobiles gathering dust at home, please do bring them in.
They can be left in the boxes under the table in the school entrance hall. Also, please do continue to being us your old printer cartridges.
Bags2School
We will be doing another Bags2School collection in September. if you would like to bring in your unwanted clothes, shoes, bags etc before then, they can be stored at the school over the summer.
Summer Fair
Thank you to everyone who attended this years Summer Fair. There was a great atmosphere at our 'Day at the Races', attendance was higher than last year and so were takings. We made £1,100 profit for the PTA, with the sale of raffle tickets and the Food Court being particularly successful.
Organising the fair is a mammoth task and the PTA couldn't have done it without the help and support of so many families and friends. Particular thanks go to Judy Kenny who designed our
beautiful posters and flyers, Gavin Simpson who was a fantastic Master of Ceremonies, Lisa Jordan who made the hampers look so lovely, Paul Court who not only fixed the PA system but also put together all the music, Katie Douglas for her sterling effort selling raffle tickets, the dad's who sweated over the BBQ all day and actually managed to cook everything properly this time, and last, but by no means least, Her Majesty herself, Maureen Scopes who stepped in at the eleventh hour and stole the show!
The staff helpers were also invaluable and greatly appreciated. Mrs Fullager and Mrs Francis once again manned the bottle tombola and the teachers were brilliant serving drinks. Mr Fields efforts in the stocks were beyond the call of duty and Mrs Richman did a wonderful picture of a jockey for the pin the hat on the jockey stall. The success of the arena events owes everything to Mrs Martin and Mrs Daniels and all the staff looked wonderful in their Ascot finery.
We have already started to talk about this Christmas Fair, so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, do let us know !!!
The uniform shop is running a little low on stock so if you have any uniform your children have grown out of, please do bring it in. Caps are particularly needed.
