It is that time of year again, when we start to look forward to the Summer Fair! This year, the fair will be on Saturday 27^th June - 11am-2pm!

The Walkley Summer Fair is one of the highlights of the school year and Friends of Walkley are already busy planning and prepping for this year’s fair. Again, there will be lots of stalls and activities to get involved with during the day. For the past couple of fairs, we have had one or two stalls per year group, which has worked well. This year, we plan to do the same so look out for a message from someone in your year group.

For this and other community events to take place, Friends of Walkley need EVERYONE’S support. If any parent/carer would like to be involved in the organisation of community events and experiences for the children at Walkley, please email enquiries@walkley.sheffield.sch.uk for the attention of Mr Clements, who can connect you to someone from Friends of Walkley.

If you can offer any help; running or supporting a stall or setting up and clearing away at our Summer Fair, please let Mr Clements or a member of Friends of Walkley know. 

We need the following to make the fair happen:

• Jars for the jar tombola. This is always a really popular stall and for it to be a success, we need about 400 jars. If each child fills one jar, we would have more than enough. Please fill jars with small toys/stickers/sweets etc with the lids on.

• Teddies that are in REALLY GOOD CONDITION for the ‘teddy tombola’ stall. Please bring any teddies that would like a new home to school.

• Any raffle prizes you would like to donate to school

• Cakes, biscuits or other baked goods for the refreshment stall on the day of the fair.

• Nearly new (IN GIFTABLE CONDITION PLEASE) books and toys for the book and bric-a-brac stall.

All the above can then be brought to school after May half term.

There will also be our traditional raffle, with some incredible prizes to be won. Tickets and more information will come home to you prior to the fair for you to sell to friends and family. If you have any raffle prizes you would like to donate to school or any connections to companies who may donate us a prize, again please contact Mr Clements.

Kind regards

Mr Clements & Friends of Walkley
