P3G ‘Children in Need’ – Raffle and Bake Sale Update

bbc_children_in_need-svgHi all,

We will be drawing the winners of the ‘Children in Need’ raffles, for both the children and the adults, at the assembly on Friday 25th November as we are still waiting on a couple of prize items being delivered!  Tickets will still be available to buy next week at a cost of 50p for children and £1 for adults per strip.

Our fundraising bake sale has been rescheduled for Wednesday 23rd November. There will be a range of cakes and goodies on offer from as little as 10p.  Pupils will be able to buy one or two items when they visit the bake sale with their classes and then if we have any goodies left, pupils with additional money will be able to purchase extra items.

Thank you in advance from P3G for all your support with this fundraising event.  Looking forward to seeing everyone dressed in their spots etc. at the assembly on Friday.

P3G NEWS FLASH!!!!

spotacular

Dear Parents/ Carers,

P3G would like to invite you along to their ‘Children in Need’ assembly on Friday 18th November.  This will be a spotacular event and parents and children are encouraged to ‘wear your spots’ and dress down/ dress up for this event.  There is no set cost for pupils to participate in this dress down day however, any donations will be greatly received and will be going to a very worthy cause.  There will be raffle tickets available for pupils to buy throughout next week (50p a strip) and for adults (£1 a strip) to buy from the office and at the assembly.  We are hoping to hold a spotty bake sale for the rest of the school, although this may need to take place the following week due to timescale – We will keep you and the pupils posted on this!

We hope you can join us for this special event and look forward to ‘spotting’ you all in the audience.

P3G and Mrs Waugh
