⭐️ M***i Day ⭐️

Don’t forget children can wear their own clothes to school tomorrow in exchange for a donation for our tombolas.

Please see the photo for the suggested donations for each year group.

We welcome all donations so if you have anything on the list that you would like to donate you can pop it into the named year group crates at the gate in the morning.

Thank you so much for your support!

Following the successful matchmaking of sweets and jars, FoBS are hoping to bring together two other lonely hearts...

💘 DESPERATELY SEEKING CHILDREN'S HANGERS 💘

Second-hand clothes stall seeks children's hangers for a meaningful relationship at the school fair.

Tired of hanging around with nothing to do?

Do you know a children's hanger that feels overlooked, underappreciated, or simply lacks purpose?

Our pre-loved clothing stall is searching for caring, supportive hangers to help showcase children's clothes and make them feel their best.

Ideal candidates should be:
❤️ Children's size
❤️ Sturdy and reliable
❤️ Happy to support a good cause

No experience necessary – just a willingness to hang in there.

If you have any spare children's hangers looking for their next adventure, please let FoBS know.

Don't leave them hanging... give them a new purpose today!

Thank you for supporting FOBS.

DESPERATELY SEEKING JAM JARS

Sweet stall seeks clean, sweet-smelling jam jars for a long-term commitment at the school fair.

Must enjoy being filled with sweets and bringing joy to children and adults alike.

No previous tombola experience required.

Applicants should be clean, have a lid, and preferably have previously contained jam, honey, chocolate spread or other sweet treats.

Unfortunately, jars with a history of curry, pickles or other savoury adventures need not apply.

If you know a suitable jar looking for a new purpose in life, please send it into school.

Love,
The Sweet Stall Tombola ❤️

🍰 FOBS Update – Friday 12th June

Please note that FOBS will not be running tuck after school this Friday.

Instead, the school will be holding a bake sale fundraiser to support Lynx Gym, following the devastating fire that affected their premises last month.

We'd love for our school community to come together and support this local cause. Every purchase will help raise funds for Lynx Gym as they work towards rebuilding and getting back on their feet.

Thank you for your support! 💙

🌈 WOW! WOW! WOW! 🌈

We have just received the final figure raised from our Colour Run and we are absolutely delighted to announce that together we raised an incredible £3,860! 🎉🎉🎉

What an amazing achievement! This simply wouldn't have been possible without the support of our wonderful children, families, staff, volunteers, sponsors and everyone who donated.

Thank you to everyone who took part, got covered in colour, cheered from the sidelines, volunteered their time, and helped make the event such a huge success. Your generosity and community spirit continue to amaze us.

Every penny raised will go towards supporting the school and enhancing opportunities for our children.
From all of us at FoBS, thank you for helping make this a colourful and successful Colour Run! 🌈💙

🚨 Summer Fair Volunteer SOS! 🚨

Our Summer Fair is now less than 4 weeks away (this post was meant to go up yesterday... 🤦🏻‍♀️).

We need your help!!

At the moment, we have only a handful of volunteers signed up to help run stalls on the day. Whilst the fair itself will still go ahead, many of the children's favourite stalls and games can only run if we have enough volunteers to staff them.

Without helpers, stalls such as Hook-a-Duck, the Teddy Tombola and other games may have to be reduced or closed altogether – something we'd really hate to see happen.

The good news? You don't need to give up your whole day! Even one hour makes a huge difference.

🎟️ Volunteer Rewards

🍬 1 hour = sweet treat + 1 entry into our volunteer raffle (win a bottle of prosecco!)

🥤 2 hours = fizzy drink + 2 raffle entries

🌭 3 hours = fizzy drink + BBQ item + 3 raffle entries

🍔🍹 4 hours = BBQ item + drink from the bar + 4 raffle entries

If you can spare an hour or two, please sign up here:

👉 https://volunteersignup.org/TFW8H

With over 400 children in our school, if a small number of parents, grandparents, relatives or friends each gave a little time, we'd have every stall covered in no time.

Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered – your support is hugely appreciated. 💛
