Countdown to Christmas Fun

29th November 2013

Newsletter

We are very much looking forward to tomorrow, when the Christmas Fair is taking place be-

tween 11am and 2pm.

In addition to being able to meet Father Christmas in our very own grotto, there will be the

usual attractions including Bottle Bola, Chocolate Bola, temporary tattoos, face painting and

refreshments. There will also be a number of outside stalls for anyone who wants to stock up

on Christmas presents during the event.

As always, thank you to Linda, Jenny and all of the parents from the Wilmslow Prep Parents’

Committee who have given up their time putting this event together.

Entrance is free but please do pick up some raffle tickets on your way in - there are some fan-

tastic prizes to be won and all of the money raised goes towards extras for

the children, such as visits, parties, software and items for the playground.

Tomorrow we are also pleased to be supporting the Wilmslow Winter

Wander Round, which is raising much needed funds for East Cheshire

Hospice. In the Reception classroom, we are holding a free Gingerbread

Decorating Event for children. Come and decorate a gingerbread man—

there are prizes for the best efforts and we are raising money for East

Cheshire Hospice at the same time with donation buckets in the class-

room.

There are lots of WWWR events over the next few weeks taking place in

Wilmslow Town Centre and we are pleased to be a part of this celebration.

The Parents’ Committee

held their annual get to-

gether for WPS mums

recently at the Ladies’

Lunch.

The event was held at

Grill on the Edge and

thirty mums took time

out to meet for lunch and

some treats courtesy of Clarins at John Lewis.

The lunch and raffle raised over £300, which will go towards

providing additional items for WPS as part of the excellent

work that the Parents’ Committee do.

Thank you to all of the mums who supported the lunch and

congratulations to those of you who won some fantastic

prizes. A big thank you to Sally Samuel and the rest of the Parents

Committee for their hard work organising this event.

Congratulations to Amber, Sofia, Amelia, Scarlett, Imogen,

Laura and Noor for being this week’s Stars. Well done for

all of your hard work.

What do these have in common?

Form 4 Go Shopping Form 4 had a really

successful trip to

Sainsbury's to put their

Maths into practice.

They had budgeted and

made shopping lists

considering the class's

likes and dislikes and

then, having bought the

goodies, enjoyed eating them!

Thanks to the parents who accompanied us!

peal will benefit from

your generosity and

the toys will be redistributed.
