PTA - The Christmas Fair is coming!
Dear Parents,
We are fast approaching the date for our 2015 Christmas Fair (Saturday 28 November) which relies on your generous donations. This is our biggest fundraiser so please take a moment to see what you can do to help. Whilst we appreciate anything you can give we would be especially grateful if you could have a look at the specific items requested from each year group.
Donation requests by week
From 9th – 13th November we are asking for toy donations. These should be good quality second hand items to be sold on the Toy stall. Please ensure jigsaws are complete and toys are in full working order with no items missing.
From 16th – 20th November we are asking for donations are as follows:
|
Reception & Nursery |
Beauty products or makeup for the Beauty Stall |
|
Year 1 |
Sweets – anything big or small for the sweet tombola |
|
Year 2 |
Sweets – anything big or small for the sweet tombola |
|
Year 3 |
New or unused toys for the Toy Tombola, any unwanted presents would be ideal. |
|
Year 4 |
Small items which could be used as gifts for parents for the Christmas Gift & Wrapping Room e.g. china mugs, small ornaments, candles. |
|
Year 5 |
‘Girls’ World’ – jewellery, bags, mirrors, beauty sets for girls. Any items in a saleable condition would be perfect. |
|
Year 6 |
Products for Hampers e.g. biscuits, chutneys, olives or tinned goods. Alternatively items for our Christmas stall e.g. wrapping paper, tags, bows, cards. |
The week before the Fair (Monday 23rd – Friday 27th) we are asking you to pledge items for the homemade stall (jams, chutneys, cakes, biscuits). Please hand in to either school office so they can all be sorted in time for the Fair, or if you will be sending baked items on the day, please email us to let us know.
Friday 27th November will be ‘Own Clothes Day’ and that morning the children are asked to bring:
|
Nursery |
Mince Pies |
|
Reception + Year 1 |
Any item containing chocolate for the chocolate tombola |
|
Year 2 + Juniors |
Any bottle for the bottle tombola, from lemonade to whiskey! |
Grand Draw Raffle
As usual, this will take place on the day of the Fair (at around 2pm) in the Junior Hall. Your family has received five books of tickets and we would appreciate it if you could sell these to family or friends. This year we are running a competition (with the help of the Year 6 pupils) and there will be a special surprise for the class who sell the most tickets!
Additional books of tickets can be obtained from either school office. Year 6 pupils will also visit each class daily with spare books. In this case please let your child know if you would like some more.
In order for class totals to be counted, all ticket stubs and money should be returned to either school office in an envelope clearly marked with Grand Draw Raffle and the teacher’s name. If you have any unsold tickets please also return these to one of the school offices.
We look forward to receiving your donations to help make the Christmas Fair as successful as ever.
Kind regards,
The PTA team
