It's only one week until our annual Christmas Fair! There will be festive fun for all the family; stalls selling gifts, treats and games! We have some incredible prizes for the raffle and will be bringing back the Ms Paulson cake competition! This year's theme will be cupcakes and biscuits. Bring in your festive bakes on Friday 6th with your child's name, class and list of ingredients labelled clearly. (Please don’t forget that Haydn is a nut free school). Ms Paulson will be judging these creations and prizes will be given at the fair. 

 

We are still accepting generous donations: tombola gifts, wine and empty screw cap wine bottles.

Anything donated will be greatly appreciated! We're looking forward to seeing you all there!
