Friends of Lyng School Coffee Morning

Monday 12 November 9am-10am

Come along to an informal FOLS meeting – have a chat over coffee to find out what events are planned, find out different ways you may be able to help, or to suggest and share ideas.

From helping to organise an event to offering an ‘extra pair of hands’, all help and support is greatly appreciated.

Children in Need 2018

Once again, we will be aiming to create our very Pudsey bear in coins. Please come along with your bag of copper and silver coins on Friday 16 November between 8.30- and 9am.

IN ADDITION, we have had a Knitted Pudsey kindly donated to the school by one of the ‘Elsing Knitters’ to help with our fundraising.

He will be in school from Monday 12 November, and during the week children will be able to buy a ticket –this will be put in a hat and the winning ticket- drawn out of the hat in Friday’s celebration assembly on 16 November.

Tickets are £1 each.

Library Competition

For your chance to win a £10 book token, write your own mixed up fairy tale.

You could mix up characters from different stories or change the story details.

Perhaps a good character could become a bad character or may be the other way round!

Entries by 5 December

For your chance to win a lovely book – this time a copy of ‘The Disney Book’ , can you design your own Disney villain?

Entries need to be handed in by 5 December

Explorer Cafés
