Library Bus The PTA initially started out to raise money for a library POD. TH spotted a council library bus for sale; in the end this went for 6k. Since then RC found several old council library buses which are being removed from service. RC managed to acquire the busy for 2k which is amazing. The bus arrives in two weeks and will be parked next to the daisy. The busy made need a quick clean and paint but otherwise (once connected to electrics) it is ready to move the books into. Volunteers maybe required to move the books. PTA plan to try and get the bus ready for the next open afternoon to host a

TH applied for an Aviva community fund before we found the bus asking for 5-10k – everyone needs to vote for the school by registering their email address and voting. The post needs sharing and voting on. Well done! 5.

AOB TH stated the newly formed PTA are doing extremely well and are supporting the school in a positive fashion. DS suggested a Smartie challenge – all children are given a tube of Smarties to fill with coins – they return the tube filled with 20ps. RC suggested this is held at Easter. Possibly have a class challenge to win a cup for the most 20ps bought in HC suggested ‘a break the rules’ day – the children are given 5 rules which they can break. For example chocolate at lunch time, non-uniform, wear trainers. Each rule broken costs 50p LP has puzzles to donate ready for the summer fair. TH suggested they could be used to make Christmas decorations? Christmas cake raffle – could we raffle a Christmas cake during the nativity play?
