Raffle tickets are priced at £1 per ticket.
Remember to start putting aside suitable prizes for the Tombola - brand new gifts, toiletries, food items, bottles of booze, chocolates etc. We will collect the week of the Fair. Alex (Reception TA) is running a second hand toy stall so if you have any preloved toys in good condition that you might want to gift to another child please bring those in too. GOODY BAGS The ever popular goody bags will be given out to your children this week. Please fill them with little toys, sweets, lollies, puzzles etc. and hand them to the office in the next couple of weeks. In response to your feedback the PTA have now sourced COMPOSTABLE goody bags so if you choose not to fill them please either return them to the office or throw them in your FOOD bin and not your RECYCLE bin.
Santa's Grotto tickets will be on sale in the week of the fair so please keep an eye out
for those.
Spare goody bags are available at the office!
Please bring your cake and biscuit donations to the office on the morning of the Fair.
