Dress up retro!
It has been 40 years since Comic Relief first began fundraising.
Let us celebrate this by dressing up in our best 80's outfits.
Think clashing colours, big hair, leg warmers and shoulder pads.
Go big on 40!
Each class will be holding a 40 challenge.
This might be 40 push ups, 40 seconds of times tables, 40 sprints in the playground. They will decide with their teacher.
We are asking each family to donate £2 towards Comic Relief
(£1 dressing up, £1 for the 40 challenge).
Book of Favourite Characters
Our home activity, this year is to draw your favourite character from a book. This could be a character who is good, evil, funny, human or even an alien!
Whatever is your favourite character, create a picture and write a short description, Make it bright and colourful! When it is complete hand it into your class teacher who will then create a class book of all of these amazing personalities.
Monday 2nd December 2024
Children and adults are invited to come into school dressed in Christmas colours. In exchange, we ask for a family raffle donation please.
Donations could be a box of chocolates/ biscuits, a bottle of something, a pair of Christmas socks, toiletries, a toy or an unwanted gift.

Red Nose Day 2024
Do Something Funny for Money
On Friday 15th March, we will be taking part in Comic Relief 2024. As part of this we would like to invite the children to come into school in non-school uniform. As the theme is ‘Do Something Funny for Money’ your child may wish to wear their favourite fancy dress costume, go red from head to toe or even have crazy hair. Children are invited to wear something that makes them and others smile (or laugh).
For the children wishing to take part, we are asking for a donation of £1 which will go towards the Comic Relief appeal. For those not wishing to take part, normal school uniform is to be worn. All money raised will be sent to the National appeal.
During the day itself, the children will learn about the people who benefit from the donations and the work that Comic Relief has undertaken since it started.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Green
Deputy Headteacher
To celebrate ‘World Book Day’ on Thursday 2nd March, each class will participate in a range of activities linked to a chosen text. As part of our school celebrations, we would like to invite the children to come to school dressed as a recognisable book character of their choice.
Your child will bring home a £1 ‘World Book Day’ book token, which will allow them to choose a free book, from participating booksellers, including Asda, WHSmith and Sainsbury’s.
We are very much looking forward to a fun-filled ‘World Book Day 2023’ and hope the children will enjoy the exciting activities planned.
Don’t forget to get your ‘extreme reading’ pictures into school by Friday 17th March. Photos will all be displayed and judged and the top three will receive prizes!
