When: from 3.15pm on Friday 15th May

Where: KS1 playground

It's Year 2's turn to bake! From cupcakes to cookies, traybakes to brownies, there'll be plenty of delicious treats to choose from - all made with love (and quite possibly a lot of sprinkles).

Bake sale money raised supports the year 2 classrooms.

And that's not all! Alongside the bake sale, we'll also be running a second-hand uniform sale, so it's a brilliant chance to pick up some great condition Mayfield kit at a fraction of the price. Whether you're stocking up for a growth spurt or just need a few extra spares, come along and take a look.

We'll also be selling second hand scooters and other bits and bobs that have been donated to the PTA over the last few months - come and grab a bargain!

We hope to see you there!

Cash and card accepted.

It's that time of year! If you're having a clearout of clothes and want to support our schoo at the same time, we'd love your donations!

Bag2School

Children will come home with a Bag2School bag to fill up (but you can bring your donations in any bag - we're not fussy!). Fill it up with donations of clothing and drop it off near the bike shed by the school office on the morning of Tuesday 12th May. 

Bag2School will pick up the donations, weigh them and then donate to the school based on how much we've given them. "The more we weight, the more we pay" is their motto.

Fundraising in this way contributes about £350 a year, so it's a great way to raise funds, and for you to clear wardrobe space ready for summer.

2nd hand uniforms

Please donate any good quality second hand uniform so we can resell it to families across the school. 

Donations can be brought in and dropped off at the school office by Thursday 14th May. 

Thank you for your donations! These really help everyone get summer-term ready and help us gives clothes a second lease of life.

Other things to donate?

As we get closer to the summer fair, we will be calling out for other donations. If you have any of the below, please can you store them for us for now and we'll be asking you to bring these in closer to the Summer Fair day (Friday 26th June):

• Teddies (for the teddy tombola)

• Toys (for the toy sale)

• Books (for - you guessed it! - the book sale)

• any unopened and in-date boxes of chocolates, sweets or treats that we could put into a hamper

• bottles of wine for our Water or Wine stall

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:
