This week I have been enjoying my lunchtime walks by the river. I had great fun walking with these guys; we made quite a team – the three Bs!
I loved listening to them chat as we explored together, and I’m looking forward to enjoying my walks with even more children in the weeks to come.🐾Bodhi 🐶

Last week’s KS2 cake stall was incredibly chaotic but wonderfully profitable, raising a delicious £121.50. Thank you so much for your baking efforts – you absolutely knocked it out the park.
We still need volunteers for the Halloween Disco next Friday 16th. As parents will need to stay anyway, why not help on one of the stalls? We’re short by quite a lot, so please do text Tamsin if you can help.
Christmas Shop volunteers: now we need buyers and staff because we’ve had loads of volunteers for the wrapping, including pupils from Fulford School Remember, we can’t run the shop without buyers and staff, so please email us at friendsoffishergateschool@gmail.com
Yours friendfully, The Friends Team

This week I met my new friends in Early Years, and what a lovely bunch they are! I am so proud of the brilliant start they have made— settling into school, learning new routines and making lots of new friends. They were very gentle and kind when they met me, and I’m looking forward to spending lots more time with them.Bodhi 🐾
Probably as this newsletter is being sent out, the chaotic Cake Sale will be in full swing! Remember, it’s the turn of Early Years and Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) to do theirs on 9th December. So, please bring your cakes to the office or give to your teacher and we’ll be selling from 3:15 in the Lower Hall. We need volunteers from those years to staff the stall, so please message Tamsin or email friendsoffishergateschool@email.com to volunteer. No nuts though, please, as we’re a nut-free school and please mark any allergens.
We had a productive AGM and planning meeting on 24th September. Minutes are available on request, but one important date for your diary that we’ve now confirmed: Christmas Fair is Friday 4th December after school.
Finally, a big thank you to anyone who’s donated money to the QR codes that we put up on Global Night and around the school. We’re working with the school to get the money spent and benefitting your children. Thank you everyone for your continued energy and support.
