PTA Christmas Fayre – Friday 4thDecember 6pm-7.30pm

The Christmas Fayre is fast approaching and we need your help to make this year as successful as previous years. Here’s how you can help:

Create and decorate a Star Competition: all children are invited to take part, to paint, draw or even make a 3D star, which should be no taller than 30cm. All entries will be on view at the Fayre and the winners will be announced on the night.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Donations

We are asking all parents who are able to donate to provide:

  • Cakes: for the cake stall
  • Children’s toys: for a second hand toy stall, please see below for more details.
  • Hamper items: To help build the hamper assigned to your class, please see the list overleaf for details of each hamper and class

We are also asking parents with children in;

  • Key Stage One to make and donate a Christmas cracker, please see below for more details.
  • Key Stage Two to fill a decorated jar with sweets and chocolates for selling on the Jarbola stall.

Toy Stall: If your children have finished playing with some of their toys and they are sat cluttering up their bedroom, let us have them and come along to the stall to see if there are othersyou’d like instead. Please make sure that they are in a resaleable condition and suitable for children aged 4-11 years (no pre-school toys or books).

Christmas Crackers: Can be made from kitchen roll tubes and filled with sweets, toys and other items you’d find in a cracker, decorate them as you like. These will be sold on the cracker stall.
