It’s never too early to talk Christmas and the Friends of Naburn have some fantastically, festive things they would like to share with you.
Tickets for the annual Christmas raffle will be going on sale soon and we’ve managed to secure some great prizes from some very generous places in York. More information on these will be coming soon. To go with these, we’re asking for you to boost the prizes on offer by donating something for the raffle please. We would welcome things like bottles, chocolates, posh biccies, chutneys, small gift sets. Anything big or small would be very much appreciated.
Don’t forget, we have our delicious Christmas puddings available. These come in three scrumptious flavours, ultimate plum pudding, sticky toffee pudding and luscious lemon, at £7 each. These are a perfect desert for the big day or would be a lovely gift. If you would like one, or two, please complete the slip at the back of the newsletter and hand into the school office with payment please. Remember, these aren’t just any Christmas puddings, they’re Naburn puddings!!
And, as if this isn’t enough, we’re happy to announce we’ll be holding another film night for the children. This will be straight after school, on Friday 9 December (pick up time to be confirmed once the film has been chosen). We will be casting the vote for the film next week, but it will no doubt be one full of Christmas cheer. The cost is £3 per child or £5 for 2 siblings and they’ll be popcorn and juice on offer. If you would like your child/children to stay for festive film night, please complete the other slip at the back of the newsletter.
As always, please get in touch if you would like to help or be part of the PTA. We’re only a small group and have some fantastic ideas we’d love to bring to the school.
The Friends of Naburn are very pleased to be bringing back the much-loved movie nights and what better way to start this than with a spooky twist to get everyone ready for Halloween. The first movie night will be on Thursday 20 October, starting at 6pm, in the school hall. There is a small cost of £3 per child/ £5 for 2 siblings, for which there’ll be popcorn and juice. The film has been democratically chosen by the children and we will be showing the animated version of The Adams Family. This is a PG rated film so please make sure you are happy for your child/children to watch this. Children can come dressed in PJs with teddies, blankets, cushions…the snugglier the better. KS1 must be accompanied by an adult. Any KS2 children will need to be collected from school at 7.30pm.
Even more exciting news, we will be holding a Halloween Party. This will be at The Village Hall between 5.30 – 6.30, on 31 October. Children (and grownups) are encouraged to come dressed in their most terrifying outfits. There will be party games, prizes, hot dogs and of course the odd sweet treat. Again, KS1 children need to come accompanied by an adult and KS2 parents are more than welcome to stay and join in the fun. The village are very kindly organising a pumpkin trail around the village, which the children will be able to enjoy after the party, along with any trick or treating families.
The PTA have been allocated a date to run the café at St Crux. This is Saturday 11th March 2023. Please add this to your diary as we will need plenty of the usual type of support to make it a rip-roaring success. Help will include baking, looking through your cupboards and drawers for items that you no longer require suitable for a bric a brac stall, helping supervise stalls and the café and finally being around to set out in the morning and tidy up in the afternoon. Thank you
Wednesday 20th July – non uniform day and bring a bar of chocolate
On Wednesday 20th July we are asking all children in school to bring in a bar of chocolate or packet of sweets to be used on the tombola at the End of Term Party in the Playground. In return for this children can come to school in non-uniform on that day. Please ensure that all chocolate and sweet donations brought to school are in date and are unopened! Huge thanks.
