Friday 3^rd May – this will be the day to bring in most of the donations needed.  As a thank you for bringing in your donations, children can come to school on this day in their own clothes – they will still require a coat and closed toe shoes (no lace ups).

The donations needed on this day are as follows:

Bottles - for the bottle tombola stall at the May fayre and also for the stall at the carnival.  Bottles can be alcoholic, non-alcoholic, smellies etc.

Wrapped sweets for the sweet tombola stall – please make sure the sweets are wrapped, still in date, and that they do not contain nuts.

Coins  / loose change for the money tree stall.

There will be boxes / containers in both playgrounds at drop off time on Friday 3^rd May for your donations.  Otherwise please bring your donations to the office.

Thursday 9^th May – Saturday 11^th May – please bring in:

Plants / seedlings for the plant stall

Cakes, biscuits, samosas, pakoras for the refreshments stall – these do not need to be home made, shop bought is fine!

Again there will be boxes / containers in the playgrounds on Thursday 9^th and Friday 10th at drop off time for the donations, or please bring to the office on Thursday and Friday, or you can bring in to school on the Saturday morning.

The fayre is a major fundraising event for the school but to make is a success we do need your support, so please do bring in your donations, sign up to help on a stall, and bring along your family and friends to the fayre!
