MUFTI DAYS & COOK4BOOKS
We’ve agreed with Mrs Wheatley to have more mufti days in 2008-09 to help raise money for the Circus (Mufti will return to 3 days a year in 2009-10).
These mufti days also incorporate COOK4BOOKS. Stalls will return to morning break, with after school stalls if stock remains or parents bring in even more cakes to sell!!

An envelope is attached to this letter. Please fill it with:
o Jewellery – cheap, expensive, broken, with missing bits;
o Watches – new, old, broken.
Please return your filled envelope to the box near the library by Friday 9th May and your donation will help raise money. All the contributions are valued and the school will be given a cheque for their contribution, and you might win an MP3 player. EASY MONEY!! The jewellery collectors will either sell-on stock or use it to create new jewellery – carbon low recycling!

H.S.A. FUNDRAISING EVENT - SPORTS DAY FIESTA – Monday 16th June - 3:30 – 6:00pm
(or Tuesday 17th – weather dependant)
The H.S.A. are organising a special ‘after sports day’ extravaganza. You will be approached soon by your class rep. asking for you to support the event by giving a short amount of time (30-60mins). Special features will hopefully include:
o A Pimms tent (during the children’s sports activities);
o Refreshments, including BBQ, ice creams, teas, coffee, cakes and advance booked luxury family picnics;
o Football penalty shoot outs;
o Netball shoot out;
o Bouncy castles;
o Lolly lotto;
o Wine lotto;
o Tombola;
o Chuck the chicken (AKA chicken soup!)
o Striker;
o Crafting your own sports cup.
So watch this space – we are holding a meeting on Wednesday 7th May at 3:15pm to determine which class takes on which stalls (Bazaar and Fete style) so if you would like to contribute to the planning please come along. The meeting will end at 4pm. A video will be provided for the children to watch.

SCHOOL ORGANISED EVENT – PROM ONE.FIVE.OH! – Tuesday 22nd July
This is a school 150th celebration committee organised event. The H.S.A has agreed to support in giving time. The school will be underwriting the expenses as part of the 150th celebration but is obviously very keen to draw even. In previous years the parents and children have been invited and involved in two end of year activities: a summer picnic and the children’s end of year discos. It was thought it would be a good idea to combine these events, making one large event: yet not increasing any additional financial pressure on parents. PROM ONE.FIVE.OH! will be an all family event, where everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic (‘Ascot’ and ‘Picnic in the Park’ style) and eat it amongst other current and past: families; pupils; and teachers from the school. There will be a small ‘on-the-door’ admission charge likely to be about £5 per family (or £2 per adult and £1 per child) to cover the cost of marquee hire and disco entertainment. We hope you will all support this event especially those year six pupils that will be leaving us this year for adventures new! Look out for the posters…

Kind regards
Your H.S.A officers.
P.S. Go to www.northhinskeyHSA.org - let us know what you think and add your comments.
The HSA served tea and coffee before the event. The whole evening seemed to be a great success and the children got to show off to all parents, family and friends rather than just a select few! Mrs Wheatley very kindly allowed us to badger people for donations on the way out. We collected for the new outdoor classroom. A lot of people were really keen to support this permanent fixture, helping the project along with a further £231.92. Thanks go to all of you.
Plans are in progress for a special SPORTS DAY FIESTA.
Watch this space!!!
If you’ve got ideas then please do COMMENT!
Unfortunately it was a little late in the season for many parents to respond to the Suttons fundraising catalogue. 4 parents responded. The HSA will receive £22 from these efforts. Thank you.
We would really appreciate your feedback. Would you be interested in doing this next year if catalogues were issued early, in January? Please comment.
