Movie Nights - take two! TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
The postponed Movie Night will happen on 28th April - 3:15 until 5:15 at the Juniors and 3:30 to 5:30 at the First School.
Children have voted to watch DESPICABLE ME at the First School and we're waiting for the vote to come in ofor either ONWARD or DESPICABLE ME at the Juniors.
If you bought a ticket for the Christmas event then it is still valid and we'll put your child's name on to the list (unless you tell us otherwise).
Tickets are on sale now and are £3 (with a pay it forward option of £5) and will include a chocolate treat (allergies will be catered for). If you are struggling to buy a ticket then it might be because you bought a ticket in November. Please check Parent Pay history for purchase receipts.
There is no limit on sales, so if your child wants to come there is space.
If you are designated Pupil Premium then contact Ms Ulet-Millne who can make arrangements to add you to the register.
Your child needs to bring a cushion to sit on, a water bottle and a healthy snack - NO NUTS (they will get a treat!).
Children will be taken from their class directly to the movie night. Collection points will be issued next week. If you need to arrange afterschool provision after the movie then please email us to let us know beaverrdfundraisers@outlook.com
Reception and Nursery children often feel overwhelmed by movie nights so they will have an exclusive movie afternoon on 29th April in school hours. Tickets to cover the costs of their treat are on Parent Pay.
CAN YOU VOLUNTEER AT THE EVENT? Thanks to those who have volunteered to help at the First School. We'll be in touch next week with info. We still need volunteers to support the children at the JUNIORS. Email beaverrdfundraisers@outlook.com if you can help please, we'd hate them to be disappointed.
