EVENTS & Diary dates

From bake sales to summer fairs, we run a range of events that bring our school community closer together whilst raising valuable funds for the school.

If you'd like to volunteer at any of our events, please sign up using the links below or drop us an email at contact@fundmayfield.com

It's the Summer Fair!

Bring back your bunting!

The bunting you see up at our PTA events has all been made by families across the school.

Before half term your child came home with an envelope containing two plain bunting flags ready for decorating. If you've already done that, then please bring them in - the sooner we get them the sooner we can start sewing! We'd love to have some lovely new bunting ready to put up at the summer fair later in the month.

Not decorated yours yet? It's not too late! Please just bring them to the school office when you're done.

Bunting returned by Friday 12th June will be sewn up and ready to go up at the Summer Fair. Any flags returned after that date will still be used, but probably not sewn up in time for events this term. Don't worry, we'll use every single one - you can never have too much bunting!

More info can be found on our bunting page

Help us run our Frozen Friday Fundraisers

Next Frozen Friday date: Friday 12th June

After school on sunny Fridays in June and July, we usually run Frozen Fridays - these are a great way for the PTA to make a bit of extra money, but more than that they are a cheap and cheerful way to supply ice lollies to our pupils (we're much cheaper than the ice cream van and kids can play on the school grounds at the same time too!).

This year we need more volunteers, as we can't manage it alone. Full support will be given and the Year 6 pupils often help with the sales too.

If you'd like to find out more please drop us an email at allaboard@fundmayfield.com or come and speak to us at this week's bake sale.

Here are the dates that would need to be covered (subject to sunny weather) and you could help at all, or a couple of these, to help out:

Next date TBC

Last year our Frozen Fridays were run by Mayfield parents as a stand-alone activity - you don't need to be a member of the PTA, but maybe you'd like to help and can spare an hour on a Friday (~2.45 - 3.45pm).

Last year we raised almost £500 from Frozen Fridays, so you really would be helping to support the school and our fundraising activities too 🥰

If you'd like to sign up to help, please do so here: volunteersignup.org/WPLAK or if you'd like more info please drop us an email to the above.

I'd love to keep Frozen Fridays running

green fingers at the ready!

Send photos of your entry by: Friday 10th July

Not really an event, but a date to keep in mind all the same!

Before the Easter break, every child will come home with a yellow envelope packed with fun things, including some sunflower seeds. Your mission: plant them, grow them and send us a photo by the end of summer term.

Growing tips:

These plants thrive in a warm sunny, spot, whether that's in the garden, on a balcony, or on a window-sill, in the ground or in a pot
They are thirsty, so keep them watered
They are also tasty to garden creatures, so try to keep them away from slugs whilst they are very young

Tallest sunflower in each key stage (Foundation, KS1, KS2) wins a prize.

This activity is loads of fun and we hope it gives everyone a chance to watch something grow.

Didn't get an envelope? There are a few spares at the school office - pop in and they can make sure you receive one.

We can't wait to see you pics! Here are a few highlights from last year:
