PTFA News – The theme this year is “The Queen's Jubilee ” -
Monday 11th July
The PTFA pulled off a phenomenal Fair at Christmas didn't they. Every single penny raised at that Fair, went to the Pond, and Duck Project which is now complete - Thank you so much. This is something that we would have never achieved with the PTFA who raised funds for it, and then organised it - amazing. If Before half term the PTFA met again and begun planning this Fair - It should be now on the Calendar. The PTFA have decided that the funds raised this year should be part of a joint project with school to vastly improve the Junior Grounds. Together we will instal a MUGA mile track, STEM activities on the fences, and a couple of slides - the slides on the Infant Playground are a real hit. We also plan on installing some outdoor gym equipment. The complete project will probably take more fund raising than this Summer Fair, but we will certainly make a start.
We have 3 “non uniform” days , these are calendared, thanks to Simon Newell who keeps the website much more up to date than I ever did. For those of you new to the school, we do not charge any money for the days, but ask if you would mind supplying us with bottles, any unused, or new soft toys, books, games, chocolates, toiletries, or any prizes that can be used for the tombola stall—just like we did at Christmas!
The ante has certainly been upped with The Fairs hasn't it - The PTFA have already booked Donkey rides - these will be on the infant yard, and an official Ice Cream van is booked.
On Monday 27 June we shall start selling programmes on the playgrounds… you could win £5 by having the lucky programme number.
Raffle ticket will be attached over coming weeks! Prizes to be announced… Tickets are £1 a strip, please write your name on the reverse of your strips and return to school along with the money. Further tickets can be obtained from the office.
We are always looking for new sponsors to provide a star prize for our raffles. If you, or the company you work for are able to provide a suitable prize, please contact asmith@littlekickers.co.uk who is coordinating the raffle, amongst other things!
Can you provide us with any cakes, or refreshments of any type to sell at the Fair? These would be most gratefully received in school, on the Monday of the Fair.
And finally… if nothing else; please come to school and support the PTFA in this major fundraising event! The fair will open at 6.00pm, and will be phenomenal. I know how hard the PTFA are working. I look forward to seeing you there! Let’s hope for great summer weather….
New traditions will be formed this year. Stalls will be outside, on the Junior Playground, like they were at Christmas. Refreshments in the hall; year 6 games INFANT yard, Junior Yard and MUGA. There will also be Fair Rides which will be on one of the Yards
The Entrances to the fair will be either through the junior playground, if you have a programme, through the infant playground if you are without programme, or Fountains Close – with or without a programme.
You will be able to access the school hall from the Infant or Junior Yard, cutting through school if necessary!
We will be asking for volunteers to help us set up, ticket up etc, manage stalls etc and this is another occasion when we really do rely upon your help. I will ask naomi to do this via Forms, again like we did at Christmas.
