Foundation Stage Outdoor Ground Force Day – Saturday 16th June

Dear Parents and Carers,

This term, our Foundation Stage Unit, led by Mrs Paddock, will come together on Saturday 16th June from 9:00am-12:00pm to enhance the Foundation Stage Outdoor area.

To enable us to raise funds to purchase necessary equipment and materials, we plan to have a cake sale on Tuesday 12th June in the Playground after school. If you could send your child with any cake and bun donations that would be fantastic but most importantly we rely on the generosity of volunteers offering their time to make the day a success.

The Ground Force Day will be a great chance to roll your sleeves up and help with some practical tasks focussed on improving an area within the outdoor play area. It will be very sociable, no special DIY skills are required (although if you do have an area of expertise, feel free to declare it so that we can plan the division of tasks accordingly!) and the more the merrier so we hope to see a great turn out of parents and staff!

If you plan to attend, please drop an email to office@hoylandcommonprimary.co.uk to help us plan an efficient use of the workforce! Alternatively if you are unable to attend, please see the list of materials below that you may be able to donate to the cause.

To make the session as effective and efficient as possible, we are asking all volunteers to please bring a garden fork, a spade, some gardening gloves and wellies. With enough helpers, we hope to have the job completed before midday.
Best wishes,
The Ground Force Team
