Coming up...
The lovely folk at Cheap Dates bar in Orchard Square are doing a quiz night for us on Wednesday 4th February in the evening - watch this space for more information.
We have decided to move our School Fayre events to the autumn and spring instead of the busiest times (for families and teachers) of Christmas and July. The Spring Fayre will be at the Hub on Tuesday 19th May and at Main Site on Friday 22nd May.
Thank you to all the lovely local businesses and organisations who have given us donations 'in kind' recently. We had volunteers in from the Home Office to paint school on November 12th!
Please help us to buy a new minibus!
Recent Activities
KS2 yard has a fantastic new climbing frame, complete with a soft grassy surfacing, with funding help from Wooden Spoon charity.
The Sensory Ambulance came to visit school recently - your children loved it! You will soon be able to hire this fantastic resource; owner Wade Savage will bring it to your home so children can have access where they need it most.
The summer fair was our most successful single event ever - we raised over £1000! Thank you to everyone who came to join the fun with their children, donated items, bought raffle tickets, etc.
We had a fantastic number of volunteers, including staff family/friends and colleagues from Waitrose and Gripple, who all helped to make the day go with a swing!
Our Spring raffle raised over £200 - thank you to everyone who bought tickets!
We held another quiz night at the Fox & Hounds, Marsh Lane on Sunday 25th May; our raffle raised about £50. It would be lovely to see more of our Mossbrook families there another time.
Teddy Tombola
We took 50 teddies (all with M-names for Mossbrook) to the Fox & Hounds, Marsh Lane on May Day bank holiday. Lots of friends and family joined us for the fair and we raised over £250!
Therapy Bunnies
During our 'Secret Life of Pets' topic, all classes had the opportunity to interact with some cuddly therapy rabbits, brought in by the lovely Nichola Habberjam of FourPaws Animal Therapy.
Graves Animal Park Open Day
Over the Easter holidays, we held a tombola stall (with the fantastic donations provided by the school community) in the barn at Graves Park farm. It was super to see some of our children out and about with their families, and we raised nearly £400!
Chocolate Raffle
We hold regular raffles to raise money - here's one of the beautiful chocolate baskets one lucky winner took home at Easter!
