Hello,
We hope your children enjoyed FROGS’ World Book Day Disco! Please see some pictures below, and scroll down for info on our next events. We’ll need lots of help for our Jumble sale this Saturday, it’s a big fundraiser for us and also lots of fun for the children, who can pick up nearly new books and toys for as little as 50p.
WORLD BOOK DAY Disco
DJ Dancemasters managed to keep the kids busy on the dancefloor for 2 hours with lots of fun and games – and all the right tunes. The disco was designed as a fun event rather than a fundraiser, as we decided to splash out on a professional DJ, but we managed to cover our costs and even made £145 profit thanks to the generosity our parent organisers. Thank you to all our volunteers and to everyone who helped by making awesome sandwiches and cakes, and tidying up at the end. As usual, many hands make light work!
We also raised £90 for the school’s reading areas with our one-off Bookmark workshop, we hope the kids had fun. If you would like to run a one-off workshop to share your skills or hobbies with the children please let us know and we can help organise it.
Strike days
You can leave a message of support to our teachers here (anonymous google form), and can join the picket line on Wednesday and Thursday morning (at the usual drop off time).
If you could use these days to ask you child to make a small self-portrait for our teatowel project that would be amazing – we have only received a handful so far! Please leave in box in hallway. Thank you!
Jumble sale
Our next Jumble Sale will be held on Saturday 18th March. Start sorting your jumble now! Please bring your clothes, toys, books and bric-à-brac etc to the school on Friday 17 March.
Nothing broken or dirty please. Try to tie sets together, or wrap toys with little pieces securely as it can get jumbled up very quickly. We now have lots of rails, so we need lots more hangers!
If dropping off your donations at 9am, leave them by the blue container. If dropping off your donations at 3.30pm, leave them by the main hall.
We need lots and lots of volunteers for this big fundraiser, please sign up here if you can. And we’ll also need soup and cakes on the day, please let us know if you can help with this!
Egg hunt
Unbelievably it’s almost Easter already, and it’s soon time for FROGS annual egg hunt, which will be held on Thursday 30 March. We’ll need help with:
• chocolate egg donations – please bring to school office from Monday 20 March – please start looking now as there might be some early bargains! Last year we collected over 3,000 chocolate eggs. Remember no nuts please! (Parents of kids with allergies can supply specific eggs for the children to swap at the end of the egg hunt, just leave clearly labelled with allergy, child’s name and year group.)
• hiding the eggs in the garden. You can sign up here if you are free on the morning of the 30th to come help hide the eggs in the garden.
Thank you and take care,
FROGS
