Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Fair

Dear All,

As we come to the halfway point of the school year, we would like to send our thanks for your continued support in PTA events and fundraising. It has been a busy year so far, and we now look ahead to our spring and summer events.

This year will be the return of our Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Fair. We will be holding this event on Saturday 21st March, 10am-12pm. Stalls, games and refreshments will be available throughout the morning with the egg hunt beginning at 11:30am. Tickets will be £5 per child for entry into the egg hunt. This will include entry into an egg tombola to claim a boxed Easter Egg and entry into the Egg Hunt where children will be able to get a second boxed Easter Egg, Easter chocolates and sweets and small resin animal figures. More information and ticket sale dates to follow after half term.

To make the event possible we will be asking for Easter Egg donations in return for a mufti day on Friday 20th March. We appreciate Easter Eggs are more expensive this year but are hopeful you will support us so we can ensure there are plenty of eggs to go round! Hopefully, in the coming weeks you will find some good offers in the supermarkets.

For the Summer Fair this year we are going to try something a little different and will be holding the fair on a Friday evening after school. Save the date for Friday 3rd July! We will have the usual fun – stalls, games, bouncy castles, Forest School alongside bar and BBQ. We hope this will make for an enjoyable evening on family fun to kick start your weekend!

We look forward to welcoming you to these events and creating memories whilst raising money for school,

Kind Regards

Pedmore PTA

Forest School

The woods were full of children playing again this week despite the rain! 
Year 1 kicked off their sessions and listened to the story of the Magpie and his nest and learnt how the different birds made their nests and then recreated their own. 
Year 6 were performing bonkers and how they love to dress up. We were treated some amazing shows! At 11 we still want to play! 
During forest church this week we focused on Children’s Mental Health Week and their theme of Belonging. I told them a lovely story about the Rowan Prince and his nature is home for us all and where we can find a sense of belonging. 
As the children left to go back to school,  I turned to see these lovely boys hugging  a tree to give thanks for our beautiful nature. 
Filled my heart with joy! 
Nature can teach us so much! I hope the rain stops over half term so we can enjoy getting outside as much as possible. 
Have a great week. 
Ruth Hill
