Halloween Information
Come and join the Halloween Family Fun!
Merrylee Monster Mash trail
Following the success of our Halloween trail last year, we are recreating the fun with The Merrylee Monster Mash running from Thursday 28th October to Sunday 31st. If you would like your home to feature on our map, please email the PA (merryleepa@hotmail.com) asap, including your name and address. Your home will appear as a pumpkin on the map. We can’t wait to see your decorated windows, balconies and/or gardens! Maps will be available from school, on Seesaw and Facebook from Weds 27th Oct.
School garden decorations
We will be decorating the school grounds with all sorts of ghoulish delights from this Saturday 23rd October. If you’d like to get involved please email us or message on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/237423799686385). There are ideas on the Facebook group of things you can easily make at home at little/no expense, and bring in to school e.g. milk bottle ghosts, sock spiders and egg carton bats. We welcome any of your creations or offers of help!
Costume Recycling
The recycling rail is up and ready outside the school office, awaiting donations of pre-loved, good condition Halloween and fancy-dress clothes and accessories. Please donate if you can, and pop along to see if there’s anything you could re-use this year. Another great way to help refuse, reduce, re-use and recycle.
Many thanks,
The PA
Outdoor Clothing Swap
MESSAGE FROM OUR PARENTS ASSOCIATION:
Hi everyone,
We have been bowled over by the huge amount of donations for our outdoor wear clothing swap! Thank you all so much.
We have arranged the clothes and footwear on a rail in the main foyer, outside the school office. This will be accessible from drop off to pick up, and at afterschool times all this week.
Please pop in and see if there’s anything you can re-home.
The donations box is also still there for any further clean, good condition items.
We are really excited to be supporting our Eco School to reduce, re-use and recycle ♻️.
Thanks, The PA
Marvellous Merrylee Monster March
Make your window or garden part of our Halloween trail!
The Parents Association would like to invite you all to take part our Halloween Trail. A worldwide pandemic doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some of the fun Merrylee Primary school is known for.
We propose that over the next few weeks you came come up with a display for your garden that will be included within this monstrous trail. This could be a spooky window display, a scary scarecrow or a petrifying pumpkin.
If you are happy for it to be included, contact us with your address and we will add it to our map. This map will be available to download from the week of the 26th of October when hopefully all the displays will be ready. Hopefully it will include houses throughout the Merrylee catchment area and perhaps slightly beyond.
You can find the houses around you or perhaps even try and see
them all! We propose the trail stays up for the rest of the week before Halloween.
We would love to feature your displays on our facebook page on the lead up to the trail going live. Send us your photos and perhaps you can inspire others with your marvellous montages. If you haven’t joined our facebook page, this would be an ideal time to do so –
it’s the Merrylee Parents Association, see the link below.
We’d like to build on all the lovely things Merrylee are already doing for the children and given them something else to be part of and enjoy this Halloween.
If you would like to, it would be nice to add a fundraising element to this trail and perhaps make a small donation for the map which would go to the Merrylee Parents Association.
If you didn’t know already, Merrylee PA will usually organise events throughout the year to raise funds which go towards resources within the school. Many of these events will not be happening this year. It would be nice to use this event to contribute towards funds.
If anyone is keen to join, we would always welcome new members, not just to join the committee but also perhaps to help out with events like this or even share your creative ideas of how else we can organise fun but CoVID safe events for the children this year.
You can contact us on merryleepa@hotmail.com
