Friends of Prettygate newsletter April 2023
Events and activities so far this year.
Since September, our calendars have been jam-packed with exciting events for everyone to enjoy. We kicked off the year with a warm welcome to all our reception starters by providing them with special Welcome Packs. As we moved towards November, we celebrated Fireworks Night with a mesmerizing display of fireworks accompanied by delicious food, drinks, and entertainment.
In December, we organized a Christmas Secret Room where children could choose from a selection of thoughtfully curated gifts for their loved ones. To top off the year, we held a grand Christmas Fair with various exciting games, stalls, and a visit from Father Christmas himself.
To begin the New Year, we started with the gift amnesty which we made raffle hamper prizes. We then celebrated Mother’s Day by organising a special Secret Room where the children had the opportunity to pick out unique gifts for their beloved mothers and important females in their life. We’re committed to creating memorable experiences and look forward to hosting more events.
Where have we spent the money raised?
We understand the importance of investing in our school community, and we’re happy to share some of the recent ways we’ve allocated our funds.
Firstly, we prepared special welcome packs for all our reception starters at the beginning of the academic year.
In November, we added a new piece of play equipment to the juniors’ front play area at a cost of £10,000
During December, the whole school enjoyed a trip to the Mercury Theatre to watch the magical production of Beauty and the Beast. We contributed £2,000 towards this exciting event.
This spring, we donated £5,000 towards the development of a new infants’ library. We hope this space will inspire a love of reading and lifelong learning among our youngest learners.
We’re proud to support the growth and enrichment of our school community, and we look forward to sharing more updates with you in the future.
What do we have coming up?
We’re excited to announce that the fun at our school is far from over! We have plenty of events and activities lined up for the coming weeks and months.
From April 17th to 28th, we’ll be hosting our fund-raisin event. Each child will receive a box of raisins to enjoy and fill up with loose change and donations. The class that raises the most money will win fantastic prizes for each student in the class.
On April 21st, we’ll be holding a thrilling quiz night with refreshments and a raffle. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off your knowledge and compete for the school quiz champion trophy and medals. Don’t miss out – make sure to purchase your team tickets as soon as possible!
As we approach the start of May, we have a special treat in store for every student and teacher to celebrate the King’s coronation.
We’re also excited to announce the installation of a brand new piece of play equipment in the infants’ playground area, which will provide endless fun for our little ones.
8th & 9th June we have fathers day secret room an opportunity for the children to pick a lovely gift for their dad or important males in their life from our carefully selected and wrapped gifts. Don’t forget to order your tickets available online.
And finally, we’ll be ending the academic year with a bang at our summer fair on July 1st. There will be plenty of stalls, activities, food, and drinks for the whole family to enjoy. We’d love to see you there – and if you’re able to, please consider volunteering to make the event even more fantastic!
