You may have seen on Facebook some of the fantastic hampers we have put together and vouchers generously donated by local businesses that are available to win, with many more still to come. In your Friday bag today you will find an envelope containing 5 raffle tickets for each child you have in school. If you could sell these to family and friends (or buy them yourself of course!) we would be very grateful. Tickets cost \u00a31 each. Please return money and completed ticket stubs in the envelope provided on Monday. If you would like more tickets, please add a note in your envelope, or let Mrs Sharpe or Michelle Norris know. Tickets will also be on sale at the fair itself. Please return any unsold tickets via the Friday bag so that they can be re-used.<\/li>\n<li>If you have any further donations for the raffle, tombola or lucky dip, they can be left in the box in the entrance hall or passed to a PTA committee member this week.<\/li>\n<li>We would also greatly appreciate donations of cakes and biscuits for the cake stall. Christmas themed would be great if possible, but not essential! Bought or homemade are equally appreciated! Cakes can be dropped off by Mrs Sharpe\u2019s office on Friday 1<sup>st<\/sup> December. Please name your tins and plates so we can make sure they are returned to you.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget that if your child would like to enter the decorated jar competition, jars must be in the entrance hall by <strong><em>Friday 1<sup>st<\/sup> December<\/em><\/strong> so they can be judged before the fair. Please ensure they are named discretely so we know who the winner is!<\/li>\n<li>And last but not least! Thank you to everyone who has offered to help with setting up beforehand and running the fair on the day, but we could still do with a few more pairs of hands as it is a very well supported and busy event. We will be setting up in the school hall from <strong><em>1:30pm on Friday 1<sup>st<\/sup> December<\/em><\/strong> and from <strong><em>11am on the Saturday morning<\/em><\/strong>, ready to open at <strong><em>12 noon<\/em><\/strong>. We are still a few people short for the stalls we have planned, so if you are able to help, there will be a sign-up sheet by Mrs Sharpe\u2019s office from Monday. If you are the parent of a Year 6 child who may be interested in helping out with one of the games, please let Michelle Norris know.<\/li>\n<li>Many thanks for all your support with this event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday 27<sup>th<\/sup> Nov \u2013 Last Swimming Session this term<\/li>\n<li>Saturday 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Dec \u2013 School Christmas Fair 12noon \u2013 2pm<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday 5<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 The Snow Dragon at Brewery Art Centre, Kendal<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday 6<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 No Infant Art Club<\/li>\n<li>Thursday 7<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 Year 5 Rewind to Christmas<\/li>\n<li>Thursday 7<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 Last Sewing Club Session<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday 12<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 Christmas Performances 9:30am and 6:30pm<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday 13<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 Carol Service at St Margaret\u2019s Church at 6pm<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday 19<sup>th<\/sup> Dec \u2013 Christmas Activity Day<\/li>\n<li>Thursday 21<sup>st<\/sup> Dec \u2013 End of Term<\/li>\n<li>Monday 8<sup>th<\/sup> Jan \u2013 School reopens for Spring Term<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday 10<sup>th<\/sup> Jan \u2013 Swimming restarts for year 3, 4 &amp; 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Performances &#8211; Tuesday 12<sup>th<\/sup> December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would like \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 tickets for the performance at 9:30am.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We would like \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 tickets for the performance at 6:30pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We would like to thank the parents who were able to help with clearing the school grounds on Thursday morning following the flood on Wednesday evening, we are very lucky to have such supportive parents. \u00a0 Swimming Sessions.
