November 2009 CHILDREN IN NEED The children took part in Children in Need events at school on 20th November. It was a non-uniform day so we saw all the pupils wearing their favourite clothes. We had a special assembly presented by Year 8 with pictures of ‘Children in Need Day’ last year, and a performance by our resident staff orchestra ‘The Forest Philharmonic’. At break time the tuck shop sold cakes and biscuits and in the afternoon we had a disco. It was great fun and we managed to raise £202.61. Thanks to everyone who helped and contributed to the cause. If you would still like to make a donation to Children in Need, please forward money to school by 27 November. CHRISTMAS FAIR
Our Christmas Fair will be held on 27th November, 9am to 11am. We are having a raffle, tombola, cake stall, books and toy stall. If you have any unwanted toys or books please forward them to school, as well as any other items suitable as raffle prizes. Also if you would like to contribute to our ever popular cake stall please send baking in on the morning of the 27th. All parents are welcome to join us in the festivities!
