PTA News 3rd February 2023

TODAY is the afterschool, Pre-loved Uniform and Costume sale. Grab yourself a bargain, get
organised with Summer Term uniform and maybe even pick up a world book day costume.
Perhaps you can bag a Halloween costume – super organised!

Pancake Flip 2023 will be launched next week, so please check the school bags for a
sponsorship form. How many flips of a pancake can the students complete in 1 minute? On
Tuesday 21 st February, each class will hold a timed pancake flip challenge. The most
successful ‘flipper’ from each class will win a prize. We would like the students to ask
friends and family to sponsor them in this challenge. Last year we raised an amazing
amount of money to buy new technology equipment for the school and a lot of fun was had
by staff and students! More information can be found on the sponsorship forms, which will
be handed out next week.

Year 3 Bake Sale – Friday 10 th February will see the final bake sale of the half term. Thanks
in advance to the Year 3 parents for organising this.

The Silent Auction and Quiz Night are coming up later in March. We are still accepting
donations for Silent Auction lots. Sometimes the most obscure lots are the most successful!
It is also an excellent way to promote a local business. Please email us if you have
something to offer. The auction will end on Friday 24 th March, which is our annual quiz
night. This year’s theme is 80’s and 90’s – the PTA committee literally cannot wait!

DIY Skills – Needed! Our PTA shed has seen better days. If you have the skills and time to
help us repair the shed – please get in touch.

Tuesday 7th March is our next meeting. In the meantime, if you can help with any of the
items above or if you have any questions, please email us at
