FoF update after the Christmas Fair

Heartfelt thanks to our volunteers

To parents, teachers and staff who so generously gave their time to help with Donations Day and the Christmas Fair last week – thank you, thank you, thank you! We feel that the fair was a great success and it literally could not have happened without you. It was lovely seeing children looking happy, and we had such fun working alongside so many enthusiastic volunteers. Together, we raised over £1,300. Well done, everyone!

Thank you, Year 5/6s!

The Year 5/6 children hosted a fantastic games room at the fair and made a significant contribution by donating all money raised back to the school – an amazing figure of £229.30! Well done, and thank you to Ms Walton and others who helped to oversee the games room.

A special visit next week

To add to the festive fun, our own Santa and his brilliant Elf will be visiting each classroom on Mon 15th Dec to spread holiday cheer and give out a gift fromSanta’s bag. Friends of Fishergate
