Friday 9th October is Hello Yellow day / World Mental Health day

21st November:  Winter Fair and Winter Lights 3.30-7.00pm Join us for “An Ocean of Christmas Magic” as we bring a little underwater wonder to our festive celebrations!   This year’s Winter Lights will have an “Under the Sea” theme, creating a magical light trail for families to explore together. The trail opens at 3.30pm, followed by the Winter Fair at 4pm.   Make an afternoon of it: enjoy the lights, tuck into pizza, warm up with a hot drink and explore the games and stalls. With cold drinks and plenty more on offer too, there will be lots to enjoy as we come together to celebrate the festive season.   Our ever-popular raffle and tombola will be back, and we would be so grateful for donations from staff, families, friends and the wider school community. Your generosity helps make these stalls a highlight of the fair and contributes so much to our fundraising.   If you, or someone you know could donate a raffle prize, please speak to me or contact Laura at friends@mgprimary.co.uk. Every contribution, big or small, is warmly appreciated!

7th November: Dance to Make a Difference 3–6pm Get ready for an afternoon of uplifting music, disco lights and plenty of smiles! Our recently award-winning Dance to Make a Difference event brings together a fantastic group of Zumba instructors for a celebration that everyone can enjoy. Led by Laura, Chair of the Friends, and Claire, these dedicated instructors have generously supported this twice-yearly event for the past four to five years. Their energy and enthusiasm make it a special occasion - and we are delighted that the event has recently received a local Crawley award! You do not need to be able to dance or follow a routine. It is all about joining in at your own pace, enjoying the music and having fun together. It is a lovely opportunity for our children, families and friends to share an afternoon full of energy and laughter. We will also be holding a raffle, with hampers among the prizes, and would be very grateful for donations to help fill them. The requested donation date is 18th September, but items can be brought to the school office at any time. Please see below for details:   Tickets are available from the school office or by emailing friends@mgprimary.co.uk . We would love to see lots of you there!
