3. Christmas Fair
The Christmas Fair will be held on 24th Nov at 3:30, the classroom assistants will be available to help set up the hall and the school choir will sing during the Fair. Emma will liaise with Miss Rutledge to create a floor plan of the hall to set out the various stalls. It was decided to have more games and activities for the children this year, including decorating cakes/biscuits and the lucky dips, more helpers will be needed for these activities. The idea was discussed of possibly selling tickets for the fair with a time slot for seeing Santa.
The committee discussed opening the Fair to the local community and advertising it using 'For Sale' signs put on any willing resident's property, Emma has a contact in Crook and Blight Estate Agents and they will donate £1000 to the PTA if we use signs similar to their own. Emma will provide an example sign for Miss Rutledge.
4. Wreath Making Evening
Ceri E suggested an idea to hold a Wreath Making Evening in the school hall where parents can purchase a ticket and be shown how to make a Christmas Wreath which they then keep. Ceri Wilson possibly has a contact in the WI who could come and do this, the idea was also discussed to have the evening catered by the Spicy Aroma Curry House whom Emma will contact. The date for this is TBC.
