Quick reminders

Hi guys, just a few quick reminders.

Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to get you pre-orders for the Ultimate Plum puddings. At £5 each they are a bargain and, in addition, a generous percentage of the money raised goes back to POWSA.
Secondly, there is still time to pick up an application form for 'design your own Christmas/greetings cards'. More information can be found on the outside noticeboard with application forms pinned to the POWSA noticeboard opposite the office.
Finally, Mr Farrington has asked me to remind you all to please take just a few moments of time and fill out the 'Parents View' questionnaire. A link to the questionnaire can be found on the school's homepage. It's only 12 questions with multiple choice answers, and the information gathered is used by OFSTED to gain an understanding on how parents view the school.
Have a great weekend and check the blog next week as we will have the grand total of money raised from our inaugural AUTUMNFEST event!

Autumnfest

Hi there,
So AUTUMNFEST is THIS FRIDAY! Hands up who's excited!
Chilli is bubbling away, potatoes are getting ready to put on their jackets, and our storytellers are busy practising their stories! This is promising to be a fantastic family event, I hope you are looking forward to it as much as we at POWSA are.
Just a few things to remember
Children - please bring a torch with you, you may want to use this to navigate around the site, and it will help the storytellers see what they are reading as it gets really dark!
Also don't forget to bring your carved pumpkins and funky vegetable monsters to school with you on Friday morning, along with your £1 entry fee, and place them in Mr Farington's office ready for judging!
Grown ups - This is an evening event, it will be getting dark. We hope this will add to the atmosphere and enjoyment of the evening but obviously comes with greater risks. We would like to remind you that your children are your responsibility. It is lovely that they feel so at home at school, and we don't want to detract from the enjoyment of the evening, but please be mindful of the additional dangers and risks involved with this event - Thank you.
In addition, we would like to make it clear in the interests of safety, no child will be allowed in without being part of adult led group. I hope you understand the need for these conditions.
Ok, the only thing left to say is don't forget to have fun, bring some money for hot chocolate and cake and send positive thoughts for a dry evening!!!!!!!!
See you Friday
Kate and the POWSA team.

AUTUMNFEST Friday 18 Oct

Hi folks

Just a reminder that our family fun evening, better known as AUTUMNFEST, is fast approaching. We in POWSA have been working hard to create an evening of exciting stories, delicious food and family fun.

There'll be a letter coming out soon, which will let you know how to book your place at what promises to be a special evening for children and grown ups alike.

Also... are you lucky enough to have an apple tree? Have you been wondering what to do with all that surplus fruit? Well, wonder no more! We are looking for apples to be donated for one of the fun family activities we've got planned (bet you'll never guess what it is!). If you are able to donate, please leave your apples with the school office.

Many thanks

Kate and and POWSA team
