Easter Bingo Evening

Newfold's Easter Bingo Evening was a resounding success and thoroughly enjoyed by members of our school community.

 Over 150 people gathered together for 'eyes down look in' at 6:30 pm.

Mr Edge was our resident bingo caller. (Showing his age too - 67)

 But 2 dozen does not make 22, Mr Edge!

 

Mrs Gibbons was in charge of selling raffle tickets for £1.00 each.
 

 

 The prizes to be won included a bottle of Cava, luxury biscuits and some yummy Easter eggs.

Rose won these for a full house.  Well done Rose!

The Greer family almost cleared us out of prizes, winning 2 full houses and the 'Lucky Programme' number.

 During the interval, refreshments were served and the pasties seemed to be very popular.

After the interval, Jemma was a lucky winner of this gorgeous raffle prize.

And Lauren won a full house.

Every child received a free creme egg! Yum, yum.

It was another really good night.  Thank you to everybody who came and made the event such a success.

Happy Easter!

Red Nose Day 2015

Red Nose Day was on Friday 13th March, this year.  In school, Mr Edge was approached by Charlee, Rubie and Summer who wanted to make some cakes to fund raise for the event.

 

 

The girls worked tirelessly, the weekend before, to make 110 cupcakes which were sold at break time on Monday 9th March. Olivia, the girls' friend, also contributed some cakes to be sold, but was absent on sale day due to illness. 

 

 

The girls raised an impressive £55.50, from the sale and Mr Edge has very kindly donated the takings from our usual healthy tuck shop on Friday 13th March, to this.  The grand total raised is an impressive £125.50.

 

 

Thank you very much to the girls and to our children, for buying the items on both days.  The money will now be sent away to support this very worthy cause.

 

Did you do any fundraising for Red Nose Day?

 

World Book Day 2015

Here at Newfold, we celebrated World Book Day over two days - Wednesday 4th March for Nursery children and  Friday 6th March 2015 for the rest of the school.  There is always a fantastic turnout of costumes from both children and staff.  Everybody looked great and a lot of effort has obviously gone into the costumes worn by our children this year.
 

World book day usually begins by our staff, meeting in the hall and laughing at each other, in our costumes.  This year was no different.

Check this lot out!

Once the bell rings, at 8:55a.m, we welcome the children into school and we are always amazed at how great they look.

Take a look at some of the pictures from our day.

Batman and Robin

In the afternoon, we used our school grounds for reading outside.  Key stage 2 read to Key stage 1 and EYFS.

Everybody received a certificate and a book token at the end of the day.

We all had a brilliant day.  Thank you to everybody for their efforts.
