Every child has had a letter with further information for parents. Could you please send these forms back to school as soon as possible if your child will be participating, so we can make final arrangements with Mr Marshall. 

Thank you. 

Christmas Fair and Non-Uniform Day

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us starting with the Christmas Fair tomorrow, so here are a few reminders about how you can help.

• Every child brought home a plastic cup to fill with goodies to be sold at the Christmas Fair. Please send in your filled cup TOMORROW if you haven't done so already.

• Shop bought (so that we can check the ingredients list for nuts) cakes can also be brought in today or tomorrow morning.

• Any other donations for raffles prizes and stalls would be gratefully received!

• Gunge the Teacher! Children have the opportunity to vote for the teacher they wish to see gunged on Friday. Each vote costs 50p and children can vote as many times as they like! Children will be able to purchase voting tickets from the school office throughout the day tomorrow.

• Doors open for parents and adults in the main hall at 2pm. Children finish school at the normal time of 3.20pm, when their own stalls will open, selling the products they have designed and created during our enterprise week.

Finally, don't forget that as tomorrow is the last Friday of the months it will be a non-uniform dayin aid of School Council funds. Each child will need to bring 50p in return for not wearing school uniform.

We look forward to seeing you at the Christmas Fair tomorrow!
