Break the Rules and Beans Day
Wednesday 21st July 2021, is Break the Rules and Beans Day. Hopefully the children will have lots of fun and we will raise a little bit of money for the PTFA.
We have had a lot of questions from the children and adults around school about the day, so this is how we expect the day to go.
Break the Rules!
The children can break any of the following rules
- No uniform – come in casual clothes, fancy dress or PJs
- Have juice in your water bottle (but no fizzy pop)
- Bring a chocolate snack for break time (no nuts please)
- Have a crazy hair style
- Paint your face
In exchange for breaking the rules, the PTFA is asking for a £1 donation. This is to be given to the class teacher at the beginning of the school day.
Beans, Beans, Beans!
At the end of the school day, the children will be able to tip a cup of beans over Mrs Forrest and Mr Hawdon.
They will be waiting in the KS1 yard from 2:40pm and will stay there until all children have left school. The PTFA will have donation collection buckets near both Mrs Forrest and Mr Hawdon. Each donation will allow one cup of beans.
Once you have tipped your beans over either Mrs Forrest or Mr Hawdon, we kindly ask that your move away from the pool to allow the next person to tip their beans. This will help keep children and adults moving around school and help us maintain social distancing. Thanks for understanding.
Sweet Cones
We will have sweet cones for sale at the end of the school day. These will also be on the KS1 yard but away from the beans area. We respectfully ask that you only purchase 1 per child to ensure all children have the opportunity to purchase one. We have a number of vegetarian cones available. Please just ask should you require a vegetarian cone.
Sweet cones are £1 each. Money to be paid to our volunteers at the sweet cone table please. Again, we ask that you help us protect each other by keeping a safe distance and moving away from the table once you have bought your cone.
Food Bank Donations
At the start and end of school, there will be a food and toiletry collection box at the school gates. We would be most grateful if you are able to contribute any food or toiletries. They will then be forwarded to Gateshead Food Bank.
The PTFA would like to thank each and every one of our families and supporters and wish you all a fantastic summer holiday.
