Note from the Chair … The first half term has flown by! We had a fantastic first FISA meeting in the Oatsheaf, especially meeting so many Year R parents who have now become involved with FISA. We also trialled a new format Uniform Sale which went well and means we can roll uniform out to you on a more regular basis. So much to look forward to this half term; the refurbished library which FISA contributed to, our first ever Movie Night for Year 2, Discos and the Christmas Bazaar. Helping out FISA doesn't take much. You could volunteer to assist at the Movie Nights or the Discos, help create props from home for the Grotto or volunteer to help set up and/or help out on a stall for an hour at the Bazaar. All of it is great fun and by doing so, you help us raise funds for improving our children's experience at school. Thank you for your support. Ros Gordon (FISA Chair)
P.S. Please keep an eye out for the Christmas Draw tickets, we have some amazing prizes so please sell them widely to friends and families. If you have time spare on Saturday 19th November please join us selling them in the Hart Centre (please let Carolanne know via [email protected] if you are able to assist).
UPCOMING EVENTS Year 2 Film Night – Wednesday 2nd November FISA is holding a film night for Year 2 on Wednesday 2nd November starting at 4.30pm. The film is Kung Foo Panda 3 and tickets will include popcorn and a drink for all attending at a cost of £2 each payable on entry. Please indicate your child’s interest in attending by emailing [email protected] so that we have an idea of numbers. We will not be selling tickets beforehand; your child can buy their ticket on the door as if attending a real cinema. If you are able to help out with managing this event on the day for a couple of hours please also get in touch! 2nd Hand Uniform Sale – Friday 4th November FISA is planning to hold a second hand uniform sale during the afternoon of Friday 4th November. If you are able to help out with this please contact [email protected] FISA Quiz – Friday 11th November The popular FISA Quiz returns and, always well-attended by parents and staff, is a real fun social event. BYO drinks (including cups and bottle openers please). The ticket price of £10 includes a pizza delivered at half time and a great evening’s entertainment. This year, teams will consist of 6 players. Please either submit your form (sent out via Parentmail) for a full team, or just request individual tickets and we will team you up with other players. Places will be confirmed on a first come first served basis. The quiz attracts the bright and the bold from our community… which will be your best round? Any questions, please contact [email protected]

FISA Newsletter Disco – Friday 25th November - The first of this year’s 3 Discos will be held on 25th November. There is a different time slot for each year group i.e. Year R 4:45pm 5:30pm, Year 1 5:45pm - 6:30pm and Year 2 6:45pm - 7:30pm. They all get the same fun selection of top tunes, dancing, jokes and a snack and a drink break. Great fun for everyone! Parents are welcome to wait in the studio where tea and coffee are available. About 12 helpers are needed for each year group disco so if you can help out in your year group or all three, FISA would be extremely grateful. For more details please contact Sally and Nicky at [email protected] The Christmas Bazaar – Saturday 3rd December FISA’s biggest event of the year! This year the theme is Santa’s Workshop and we are expecting a great turn out for this. Forms are coming home soon via book bags for the Grotto, seasonal photography session and Grand Draw tickets. Please sell the tickets to family and friends – we have some great prizes again this year. Also we will have craft stalls, games, Children’s Own, tombolas, cakes, mulled wine and lots more! We would welcome donations of the following for the stalls - please leave donations at reception from w/c 14th November.
Any kind of bottle for our Bottle Bonanza Lucky Dip New and unused items for Children's Own (e.g. scarves, jewellery, perfume, aftershave, gents' products etc.) 2nd hand and used toys and books (in good condition please) The event starts at 12noon (early entry at 11am for helpers’ families only) and rocking on until 3.00pm - it is going to be fantastic family fun! Kicking off the fun on Friday 18th November it is non-uniform day for the children; please send them in with a chocolate bar, box or packet instead (no nuts please!) You can be part of a team involved in the planning and organisation of an activity all the way through to being a helper on the day, or anything in between. Please contact Ros via [email protected] if you can help.
FUNDRAISING SUMMARY Match Funding - Did you know that many employers offer match funding as a community enterprise? Usually this means that for every £1 YOU raise for FISA in any capacity from sponsorship, to running events or even just working a stall for an hour at the Christmas Bazaar they will MATCH the money raised. Please get in touch if you can help via [email protected]
