On Friday we held our annual Christmas Fayre, organised by our Parent Partners. We started in the fayre in our PUSCPS tradition of the school choir singing.
All our classes, including Cosy Corner and Club Wild contributed to the fayre through their learning in enterprise. They also created posters to help advertise their products.
Some pupils even set up their own stalls.
Our Parent Partners set up a range of exciting and fun activities including a treasure hunt, guess the Legos, guess the reindeer birthday, refreshments, face painting and outdoor games.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our school fayre, whether it was donating something, helping to set up, visiting or helping out on the day, we really appreciate everyone’s support. Also thank you to our P6 and P7 helpers who suported the fayre on the day. There was a fun, festive community feel on the day.
A special thank you to our Parent Partners and staff, who helped to organise such a successful event to raise funds for our school. Mrs Thom is busy counting up the money and we will let you know the total as soon as possible.
The Christmas raffle tickets are on sale until the end of term.
