Thank you for your generous donations to Children in Need. The children had great fun participating in a variety of ‘Act your Age’ challenges including speed art tasks, obstacle courses and laps of the playground whilst doing keep ups with a tennis racket, and We managed to raise a wonderful amount of £426.23.

A message from the PTA
Many thanks for your continued support during this difficult time.
A plea for help!
At Dunnington Primary we have always been very fortunate to have lots of support from parents helping run our events. However, we also need support with the committee. Currently the committee is very top heavy with parents from the older years at school. We need support from Reception to Year 3 parents. It’s not onerous and you are not committing yourself anything by volunteering. We have several meetings a year and its more for ideas and support than anything else. If you would like to get involved or talk about a particular role please contact me at [email protected].
AGM:
This years AGM has been postponed due to COVID-19, it will now be held in January. Should anyone wish to volunteer for any role or post please get in touch – it would be appreciated!
Christmas Raffle:
We will be running our usual Christmas coloured hamper raffle this year. Each family will receive some raffle tickets which we would appreciate your support with. Friends, family, neighbours would all love a shot at winning one of the exciting hampers. Due to COVID all items will be quarantined for 72 hours.
Dates for your diary:
- 11th December
- Non uniform/Christmas jumper day – support for Save the Children and Dunnington PTA
- 17th December
- Break the rules day (within reason!), more information to follow.James, PTA Chair

PTA Christmas Cards
As you may know, the PTA have for several years now, organised for the children to design their own Christmas cards. Packs of Christmas cards and other goods such as mugs and tea towels, showing their child’s design, are then made available for parents to purchase if they wish.
The children usually design their cards in school, however this year the materials have unfortunately arrived late and we are unable to complete these in school in the time required. We are therefore going to send the resources home with children today, to enable your child to create their Christmas design at home this year. An order form will also be sent, for you to return to school with your child’s design if you wish to purchase any of the items. Order forms and designs will need to be returned to
school by Friday 20th November please.
To minimise contact as much as possible, a box will be placed outside the front door of school each morning while children are arriving. Please place your orders in the box.

Well Done William!
William’s half term challenge – he set himself this challenge to raise money for playground games for school. Some of the ones in our class needed replacing and we spoke to the whole bubble about looking after things. He decided…

New menu after half term
After half term we will be trialling an amendment to the school menu, offering the choice of a jacket potato twice a week as an alternative to the baguettes. Lunches will continue to be delivered to and eaten in classrooms.
