FrOGS Upcoming Diary Updates

Dear all, welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely half term break. Here is a list of all the FrOGS events that are on the horizon:

 Scarecrow / prop in a box Competition – Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November. The theme this year is “inspirational famous people / characters”. Maps will be circulated in the second week back after half term. To enter the quiz a £2 entry form should be returned to school by the date stated on the form. The proceeds from refreshments and entries will go to fund outdoor play equipment. The entry with the most correct answers wins a small prize. Our thanks to Hailey Edmonds and her helpers for this wonderful community event.

 Non School Uniform – Friday 17th November. Come to school dressed in your own clothes in exchange for a tombola donation for the Winter Fayre. We are collecting bottles (alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages) for your first child and chocolate or sweets items for siblings. Please bring items to either school site in the morning where a FROGS member will collect them.
