Christmas Fayre – What to expect!
The Calderwood Christmas Fayre is nearly upon us, and we wanted to share some info on what you can expect!
The fayre is free to attend, but we are accepting donations to help cover the running costs. We appreciate that it’s an expensive time of year however, so please only donate if you feel you can!
You can make your donation here or at the fayre in cash or online using the QR codes around the school!
Inside you’ll find stalls selling amazing crafts and treats, perfect for ticking some things of the Christmas gift list! Stalls include;
· Dannielle Stanners Christmas decorations and seasonal products
· Carole McNeish Knitting
· Sils Craft and Creations Jewellery
There will be free activities for the kids including;
· Christmas craft zone
· Christmas movie and reading area
· Storytime with Santa
· Older kids game zone
Finally, there will be a tombola for the kids, a raffle for the adults, hot dogs (incl. veggie ones) and a selection of hot and cold drinks available to purchase.
Cash and Card payments will be accepted at all stalls organised by the parent council, however we do advise bringing some cash for other stalls just in case.
Looking forward to seeing you on Friday!

Apologises for an email that was sent in error earlier, please find the correct information below.
Primary Children
The Parent Council have organised for the school children to design their own Christmas cards and products again this year. The pupils have completed their design in school which they will bring home today. If you wish to purchase any cards or items, please follow the instructions provided on the form and return your child’s design back to school by Thursday 20th October. Unfortunately, we can’t process any designs after this date.
Nursery Children
The Parent Council have organised for the nursery children to design their own Christmas cards and products again this year. The pupils are completing their designs in nursery this week which they will bring home next week. If you wish to purchase any cards or items, please follow the instructions provided on the form and return your child’s design back to nursery by Thursday 20th October. Unfortunately, we can’t process any designs after this date.
Last year we raised over £300 through these online sales. Many thanks for all your support and we hope you’ll enjoy doing this again this year. This money helps to fund festive fun for all the children each year, such as our Christmas parties and Christmas lunch decorations.
Kind regards,
Parent Council
