Dear Parent/Carer,

Donations
Many thanks to everyone who has made a donation to our Operation Christmas Child Appeal. As ever, there has been a very generous contribution made to the project by the Robin Hood school community. These gifts will bring happiness at Christmas to children around the world who live in very challenging circumstances. This truly is a cause that touches us all.

Many thanks to everyone who has made a Non-Uniform donation today to Child In Need. Again, this is a wonderful charity to support. It is important that our children gain an understanding of the importance of charitable giving in our world.

We continue to seek donations for our Christmas Fair - Teddy Bears, unwanted gifts, toys and anything else that we can use and sell on. Our PTA Christmas Fair takes place on Saturday 11th December. Please come along and join in the fun. All funds raised by our PTA goes towards equipment for our children in school. PTA funds have in the past paid for playground equipment, Wet Play resources, Sports Kit, Nintendo DS’s and more.

If you are able to offer help to our PTA on the Christmas Fair or any other project, please contact Jenny Curgenven or Angela Ross.

Nature Trail
PTA funds this year have been used to support the Nature Trail project. I am delighted to announce that the first phase of the Nature Trail, at the front of the Nursery, is now complete. This is now a wonderful outdoor learning resource for all of our children. My sincere thanks to Mrs Bailey for her vision and her leadership of this project.
