Friends of Fishergate

All the fun of the fair

Over two thousand pounds was raised for Fishergate School after a fun community Summer Fair earlier this week!

As well as Fishergate classics; face painting, marshmallow toasting, tomboloas-a-plenty, Whack a Rat and Spin the Wheel, new activities like Beat the Keeper, throwing sponges at people in the Stocks and a fabulous Karaoke set up kept the kids amused, happy and active the whole day.

The sun was kind to us and the barbecue and bar did a roaring trade. Afternoon Tea was a hit and the ice cream queue was never ending. With plenty of shaded gazebos and lots of tables and chairs to rest at, most people enjoyed themselves for the whole afternoon. An excellent juggling session wowed the crowds with a grand finale of exciting raffle wins and good old Tug-o-War.

Let’s do the same again next year?Friends of Fishergate

Choir News

Well done to all of our fantastic choir members – and a massive thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped to make our Young Voices trip such a success!  

We will be taking a short break from practising to give everyone a chance to recover so there will be no more choir sessions now until after the half term break, but we look forward to seeing (and hearing!) you all after the holiday.  

More photos coming soon !

The return of the cake sale!

Friends of Fishergate are pleased to announce that the Autumn term brings the return to the lower hall of the fabulous Fishergate cake sale!  Year 1/2 will be getting the baking and fundraising ball rolling on the 5th October so we’d really appreciate if parents and carers of children in the year one and year two classes could bring a contribution (no nuts please!) on that day – or lend a hand with the selling! Keep an eye on the school calendar and newsletters for more dates.
