Dear parent,

PTFA Summer Fair

We are very much looking forward to the annual Kyson Summer Fair this Saturday from 12 noon to 3.00pm. Gayle, Ellie, Lynsey and the whole PTFA team have been working very hard for many months to ensure a super event and so whatever the weather does, we plan on having lots of fun.

A barbecue, tea tent and popcorn will all be selling from 12 noon and a wide variety of stalls and entertainments will include:

Tombola Bric-a-brac Clothes Plants Crockery Smash Coconut Shy Inflatable Assault Course Under 5’s Bouncy Castle Craft Tent Face Painting Teddy Tombola Books Andy’s band Elvis entertainer DJ all day Swimming Pool, Grand Draw plus lots more and of course …….. Splat the Teacher!

Hope to see you there!

PTFA Chair Vacancy

We are immensely grateful to Gayle Knowles and Ellie Rudge- Buchanan, who together have chaired the Kyson PTFA and also to Lyndsey Seva- Madden who has worked as secretary, for the last three years. They have done a sterling job and as a result of their hard work, the children are now able to benefit from:

Kyson football and netball kits Short tennis equipment x 30 Picnic tables x 6 Violins x 6 Digital piano Flexiscopes x 2 Computer Lego kits x 20 Construction kits x 2 15 i-pads with trolley Y6 leaver’s dictionaries and memory sticks …….. and we are very, very grateful.

Gayle, Ellie and Lyndsey are stepping down from their posts at the end of this term. The PTFA has always been a treasured part of the school community, organising a variety of family events and raising money to buy “the extras” and we would love to hear from anyone else who may be interested in picking up the baton. Solar Music Event

Many thanks to the 57 families who came along and supported our Solar Music Evening last Friday. Special thanks to Andy Fitzgerald, one of our Kyson Governors, who planned the evening and worked so hard behind the scenes to make it a success. Thank you also to the Fadil-Edworthy family who provided a variety of delicious suppers. As a result we raised a further £535 towards our solar target . A great time was had by all and I have already received requests for something similar next year. So watch this space!
