Wow what a busy year of fund raising we've had. With KS1 Disco, KS2 party, quiz and film nights, school uniform sale, Christmas cards, bags to school, Easter cake sale, Easyfundraising donation, sports day refreshments and the summer fete - we hope all Wanborough's children, parents, teachers and the wider community have enjoyed this year's events.

We set out to bring the community together to raise money for the children and have fun along the way. Judging by all the smiling faces and empty bottles I hope you'll agree its been a fabulous year. If you have any feedback on the events, ideas for future fund raising, comments on donations to the school or would like to join the PTA committee or volunteer at a future event please get in touch at contactpta@wanboroughprimary.org

We are still adding up all the fete takings, awaiting money from online book and DVD sales and paying expenses - so the final amount raised this year will be confirmed shortly. Fingers crossed for a fete fund raising of over £2,000 that will take our total for this year to over £12,000.

This year the PTA has donated over £10,000 to the school - all thanks to your amazing support. This has provided a climbing frame, reception play equipment, wall games, picnic bench games, laptops, comic subscriptions, specialist reading software licences and programmable robots. A simply amazing contribution. We are also seeing if we can arrange for the daily mile running/walking track to be installed over the summer ... watch out for more news. On behalf of the PTA - I'd like to say a few thank yous if you'll indulge me ...

Firstly a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the PTA Committee (along with their partners and children) for their huge commitment of time, energy and enthusiasm - without their support we simply wouldn't be able to run so many fund raising events. We welcomed new committee members this year and hope to keep and add more next year.

Thank you to all the parents, teachers and pupils who volunteered and supported the PTA events. Whether it be 10 mins to help clear up after an event, or moving hay bales, running a stall, donating a prize, baking a cake ... your help is really appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who came to an event, bought a hot dog, paid a £1 to take home a teddy, had a glass of Prossecco, bought Christmas cards, entered the raffle, had their face painted ... your support is amazing. Thank you to Nationwide, Vodafone, Atwell Martin, Richard James and WH Smith's for their financial donations - a real bonus. Plus the raffle prizes this year were brilliant - thank you to all the wonderful local firms who kindly donated prizes.

Finally - a special thank you to Karen and all the Walker family. Karen's eye for a bargain, online sales, poetry, sweet stalls, passion for new fundraising ideas, eloquent writing of newsletters, drive and determination singularly embodies the PTA. We will miss her and her dedication to the PTA as the girls head off to Ridgeway.

Good luck to the year 6 leavers we hope your hold fond memories of your time at Wanborough Primary School and we wish everyone a relaxing and fun summer holiday. See you in September ... when the fun and fund raising starts again.

Thank you all for your continued support.
