Thank you to everyone who supported our Easter Raffle and “Guess the sweets competition”. The lovely Grace helped draw the raffle and pulled out green and white ticket 431-435 SJ Reception and the lovely Gino won the jar with a guess of 55.

We are so thankful for all the support we receive and hope everyone has a lovely two week break. Enjoy 🐣.

Wow what an amazing day the children and adults have had.
The sun decided to show up and shine on our lovely day of fun.

We started the day with bouncy castles and marshmallows and ended it with egg hunts and a special visit from the Easter bunny.

Once again thank you so much for your continued support of FOSM as without you we wouldn’t be able to hold such wonderful events.

Our Easter Raffle and guess how many sweets are in the jar be drawn tomorrow before school ends so if anyone missed out today they can pop along to the office in the morning.

Thank you to Bounce North East, amazing as always. And last but not least a huge thank you to all the staff and helpers for helping the day run smoothly. We really couldn’t have done it without you. X

All photos will be uploaded on the school page.

🐰🐣🎊FOSM Easter Activities 🐰🐣🎊

🐰Our annual Easter Egg hunt will take place DURING school on Wednesday 1st April (no tickets required and sorry, no parents!) Children can come in non-uniform, the FOSM have paid for bouncy castles to come in during the morning session and then on the afternoon all children will take part in a egg hunt and receive an Easter Egg and maybe a visit from a surprise guest 👀👀👀🐇.

Our Easter Raffle tickets go on sale tomorrow and children can bring in 50p to play 'Guess the sweets in the jar' competition.

We hope you all have a Hoppy Easter!
