Dear Parents/Carers,

Friends of Walkley are currently organising the school Winter Fair, which is due to take place on Friday 28^th November. For this and other community events to take place, Friends of Walkley need EVERYONE’S support.

We are really looking forward to Winter Fair and the fair will run after school from 3.15pm to 5.00pm.

In order to help organise the fair, Friends of Walkley have organised that each year group will run a stall. One parent will help to co-ordinate this through parent groups – but you could also contact Mr Clements at school if you know you can help. If you can help for a short time, it is really appreciated.

If any parent/carer would like to be involved in the organisation of community events and experiences for the children at Walkley, please speak to Mr Clements, who can direct you to a member of the Friends of Walkley. We want to encourage and would welcome anyone who wants to join and together help support Walkley Primary School.

We need:

• Jars filled with small treats for the jar tombola – for this stall to be a success we need about 350 jars. If every child in school brought in a jar filled with small treats (nothing too expensive) we would have more than enough.
• Donations of pre-wrapped bottles of Wine for the Water or Wine Game.
• Christmas clothing – that you or your child(ren) has grown out of to make a Christmas clothing stall.
• Second hand books/toys of GOOD quality for a book & bric-a-brac stall
• Volunteers to bake cakes or other baked goods (please let Mr Clements know if you are planning to do this)
• Any donations of raffle prizes

We will also need:

• General helpers to help on the refreshments – please either email Mr Clements below or contact anyone you know in Friends of Walkley who may be organising your year group stall.

Father Christmas will also be at the fair and there will be lots of fun stalls and refreshments.

There will also be a raffle – details to follow on how to purchase tickets.

Please contact Mr Clements at school if you can offer any support or help. You can contact him by emailing enquiries@walkley.sheffield.sch.uk.

Many Thanks

Friends of Walkley and Walkley Primary School
