Pumpkin Contest

We will be accepting decorated pumpkins at 8.30am on Friday 17th October. Entry is £1.00, cash only please. Be sure your child’s pumpkin is labelled underneath with their name and year group.

Halloween Disco

Volunteers needed! Without your help, events like this wouldn’t happen, so thank you! Please email friendsoffishergateschool@gmail.com if you can help at the first disco, the second disco, or both. Duties include door entry, selling glow sticks and monitoring spaces like the Quiet Room.

**Reminders**: £2.00 entry per child. Children must be accompanied by an adult. We cannot allow entry of children from other schools, though siblings are welcome. Children are restricted from using smartphones at the disco.

Bake sale review

Monday’s bake sale raised a fantastic £72.20 and was beautifully stocked with loads of homemade goodies! Well done on the professional-looking bakes, Year 3/4 Families! Thank you to all who stopped by for a treat! Friends of Fishergate

The Return of the Famous FoF Bake Sales!

Bake sales are back and they are now on Mondays!

Every term, each phase group (Early Years, Year 1/2, Year 3/4 and Year 5/6) hosts a bake sale and the money raised goes goes directly back to their classrooms. By supporting our bake sales, you are directly benefiting your child at school. Sales can amount to £1,000 a year across the whole school! That amounts to classroom extras and rewards.

We welcome families to enjoy time baking together over the weekend before bringing donated items in for their group’s sale on the Monday. Store-bought items and fruit welcome as well.

Friends of Fishergate would like to share upcoming dates. Bake Sales: Monday 22nd September - Year 5/6; Monday 6th October - Year 3/4; Monday 10th November - Year 1/2; Monday 1st December - Early Years. Whether you buy or bake your donated bakes, please remember Fishergate is a nut-free school. Thanks you!
