Christmas
Fair 2017 will be on Friday 8th December from
3:30-6:30pm! We will be having an open Christmas Fair planning meeting
this Friday 3rd November
from 9am at school. If you would like to get involved in the planning
please come along! The following is a list of donations we will
be asking for soon, or other ways in which you can help support the Christmas
Fair: -
TOYS
– including soft toys, games and/or general toys -
PRESENTS
– we will have a ‘Present Room’ for the children to go in and pick out a
present for an adult in their life, whether it be their parent, grandparent,
aunt, uncle etc. They will have the opportunity to wrap the present (with our
helpers) to give as a gift during the holidays. These presents can be
candles, picture frames, mugs, boxes of chocolate etc. -
CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS – we will be trying our very best to make the school feel as
magical as possible and will need quite a few Christmas decorations to do so.
We will also need decorators when the time comes. -
RAFFLE
PRIZES – Do you have a business and would be willing to donate a prize for
our Christmas Raffle? Or do you know someone who would? Perhaps you’d like to
be in touch with local businesses to acquire raffle prizes? We would like to
start gathering our raffle collection as soon as possible. -
EXTERNAL
STALL – Would you or someone you know like to purchase a stall at the
Christmas Fair to sell your own items? The more stalls there are, the more
festive it feels! -
HOST
AN ESTATE AGENT BOARD – Waterfield Brooke have agreed to sponsor the
Christmas Fair with estate agent boards that promote the fair. Would you be
happy to have a sign outside of your house for a few weeks leading up to the
fair? If so, please email your address to FriendsOfMonkfrithSchool@gmail.com.
Please note, there are only 50 signs available so if we have more than
50 volunteers there is a chance you might not get a sign. ·
Thank
you all for your ongoing support. Also, don’t forget about our Quiz Night on
Friday 17th November. Tickets will be available by the end of this
week. All
the best, Your FOMS Committee |

BOOK FAIR We will be
running a Book Fair in our new library from Tuesday 14th until
Friday 17th November from 3.20 p.m. Please use the door next to
the pond area on the top playground to enter and leave the book fair. The
children brought home a flyer before the holidays showing some of the titles
available to buy but there are lots more. |

AFTERSCHOOL
CLUB CUT OFF TIME Just to remind you, there is a 1.00 p.m. deadline for ‘on
the day’ After School Club bookings. We cannot accept any children after this deadline, as we cannot
ensure that we have the correct levels of staffing in place at such short
notice. Both After School and Breakfast clubs are very busy now, so
bookings for ASC must be before 1.00 p.m. otherwise you will have to make
other arrangements for your child for that day. Please don’t assume that just
because you have asked that there is a place available, check there has been
confirmation from school. |

BIRTHDAY BOOKS Thank you to all the
children (and parents!) who have given such lovely books to their class to
mark the special occasion of their birthday. It is such a great lasting
reminder of their birthday rather than sweets or cakes that are eaten and
forgotten! We also have many children with allergies that mean they may not
be able to partake of the sweets or cakes, so a book is much nicer and can be
enjoyed by all the children. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PLEASE NOTE- no Tae
Kwando or football club on Friday 8th December This
is because the hall and dining room will be in use for the Christmas Fair
after school. After
School Club will run in the EYFS room and children will need to be collected
from the EYFS entrance which is accessed by the gate near the woods at the
bottom of Knoll Drive. |

WATERAID Thanks
for your support for Wateraid- we will let you know
shortly how much we have raised. |
