Here at POWSA Towers we see that the winter festivities are closing fast as the nights are getting darker and the family calendar resembles a Jackson Pollock with random lines seeming to fill every space. Rehearsals here, parties there, clubs and activities everywhere and, yes, my handwriting is that bad.
We have the delights of Autumn Fest to look forward to (that's next Saturday in case you have missed it), a cake sale on Friday for Children in Need and then the build up to Christmas starts in earnest. This is on top of a full half term for the school, I don't know if anyone else had grumpy monkeys on Friday but we all knew they had been back to school.
Which brings me back to the title of this blog, the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that on Friday there was a small sale of carrot cake and flapjacks outside of years 1 & 2. This was the first run of Thank Friday It's Flapjack where we will be selling small snippets of cake to help fundraising. The plan is this will occur every Friday (if the school have a cake sale on the same week we will donate our profits to the schools cause) from now on until the weather becomes glorious enough for the sale of ice creams and lollies again.
The cakes are all supplied to POWSA by a local day care centre and are prepared and made freshly every Friday by the staff and the people who attend and use the services there. As we are a school that actively seeks to improve the educational offering of our own pupils within the SEND framework it is great that we can also offer adults with similar challenges an outlet for their culinary skills.
As a result of the provenance of our cakes we cannot guarantee that they will be suitable for anyone who suffers from allergies, the kitchen they are prepared in is used for a variety of culinary assignments throughout the week. If you need any advice please ask us and we will always give you any information that we have.
Right , it's time now to go and find something red, white and blue for the monkeys to wear next week, practice their spellings, encourage them to undertake their home learning and find a cupcake recipe for Friday. After that I will definitely need to sit down with a warm cuppa and a slice of cake to help me recover. TFI Flapjack indeed!
