We’ve also made some fantastic firework pictures!

Christmas Fundraising – Bags – This year we have decided to take part in additional fundraising with personalised shopping bags, these have been designed by your children so will make great Xmas gifts for friends and family. The bags come in two sizes and we have examples in the Playhouse, they will be £6.00 & £7.00 each. If any friends and family would like a go, please let us know and you can take away extra templates, we will then submit these with our order! We must have all orders in by Friday 11th November 2016.

Upcoming Committee Events – The Christmas Fayre is being held on Saturday 10th December. We will soon be sending home jars for our Sweetie Raffle, please can you fill one of these with wrapped sweets. We will also hold a Tombola and will have a Christmas Hamper and would welcome any donations to support the Committee in this event.

Have a lovely weekend & celebrate Bonfire Night safely!
