Thank you PTFA Newsletter Autumn 2020.pdf Newsletter Winter 2019.pdf DISCO On Friday 29th November we ran our first disco outside of the school grounds, at the Labour Club in Hamworthy. A fun party atmosphere being created by Simon from Count Backwards. It was a huge success, providing a fun safe environment for our children whilst allowing parents a little time to sit and chat. The icing on the cake was raising almost £90 for our school. An amazing event we will certainly be running again, so watch this space for our next one. Summer Fayre 2019 Including £1000 matched funding from Barclays we raised a whopping £4200 - well done everyone! This will be going towards the school pond. A big thank you must go to Papa Johns for donating pizzas to us, Sainsburys for donating bottles of water and the Coop for donating the 'Decorate a Biscuit' resources. THANK YOU!! What do we do? The PTA organises activities to enrich the children's school experiences and raise money for the school. Everything we raise goes towards helping the children in some way. Here are some of the things that we were involved with in the 2017/2018 academic year...

Contact Ragen who heads up the Twin Sails PTA. pta@twinsailsinfant.co.uk Thank you for all your support! Here are some photos of some of the things that we helped to pay for last year! Early Years outside area Year 1 and 2 topic areas Uniform Sales Our uniform sales this year have raised over £110 for the school. We will run more "preloved sales" later on in the year. Please keep your donations coming if you have any good quality uniform that you no longer need. If you have a specific need outside of the uniform sale dates, contact Natalie Wines through the school office, office@twinsailsinfant.co.uk, and she will see if we have anything suitable. Newsletter / Flyers PTA Newsletter Autumn 2019.pdf PTA Party November 2019.pdf PTFA Newsletter July 2019.pdf Newsletter March.pdf Easter Egg Hunt The children loved the Easter Egg Hunt this year! Thank you so much to Specsavers in Poole for donating 200 high vis jackets to our school. The PTA created the most amazing grotto for the children. It was so magical and wonderful to see all the children's faces as they entered the grotto. Classroom Readers The school are looking for more parents readers. These parents give up a small amount of their spare time (perhaps a morning or afternoon a week) and will sit with a select number of children, reading with them on a one-to-one basis. There is no teaching requirement, you don't even have to understand phonics to do this, they just need people to listen to them read. If they encounter a word they can't sound out (and you can't either!) just tell them the word and move on. If you would like to do this contact the school office for more details, office@twinsailsinfant.co.uk Book Donations The school is looking for more reading material for our children, so we've been tasked with sourcing some. Last year we received some lovely donations from various publishers and book suppliers, this year we're asking parents to help. If you have any good quality reading books you no longer want, please pop them along to the school office. These will be sorted and those suitable for school put into circulation. Those not quite making the cut will be added to the PTA's book stall at the summer fayre. We were very lucky to receive some new books from a publishing company. We were asked to review them so that the publisher could include the reviews on the website. Imogen Stanning in Jellyfish read the book over the Easter holiday. See what she has to say about the book... maybe you would like to read it too.
