A Message from The Friends of Naburn
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the Friends of Naburn are working like Santa’s elves to make it a magical one.
We need your help though….We’ve been securing some amazing prizes for the Christmas raffle, these include an afternoon’s boat hire at The Marina, a family of 4 voucher for Yorkshire Winter Wonderland, 2 County Stand badges to the YorkMix Family Raceday, a case of wine from Jorvine, a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Machine and so much more.
We are also wanting to offer a hamper full of goodies as an extra prize. If you are able to we would really welcome donations from you please to make this hamper. This can include anything from tasty treats like wine, beer, biscuits, choccies, jams and chutneys to festive bath bombs, hand creams, socks and generally anything lovely and Christmassy.
If you are able to help please could you start to bring items in and hand them to the lovely ladies in the office, between now and 16th December. Tickets for the raffle will be on sale soon, (£1 per tickets) so keep your eyes out.
We’ve got one more ask. On Saturday 7th December, Naburn are holding their Christmas Bazaar. There will be all sorts of fantastic things going on, including a chance to meet the man himself! The Friends of Naburn will have a stall and also be running our popular Christmas tombola. Please could you help us with this by donating some chocolate for the tombola. In return the children can come in their own clothes. 
Donations should be brought into school on Friday 6th December, which is the day they can wear their own clothes, the more festive the better. We hope to see as many of you at the Christmas Bazaar as possible.
Kind regards The Friends of Naburn

PTA News – non uniform day and much, much more!
The PTA would like to thank everyone who supported our social event last Saturday by either donating one of the amazing promises for us to auction and/or coming along to enjoy the live music, drinks and good company. As you will have seen in the newsletter, this was a roaring success, only made possible by the support and generosity of both the school and village community, which we are so lucky to have. Thank you!
It’s now all systems go for Christmas and we’ve got something for everyone over the next few weeks.
To start, we’ll have a stall at the Christmas Bazaar on Saturday 2nd December, at Naburn village hall. There will be a range of festive crafting for the children, as well as gingerbread men to decorate, for a small cost. If you have any little (or big) ones that enjoy getting covered in glitter then this will be ideal for them!
We’ll also be running a chocolate tombola, and for this last activity we need your help. We’d be very grateful for any chocolate donations please, which we will use for the tombola. These should be brought in on Thursday 30th November. In return your child can come to school in their own clothes on that day.
Tickets will soon go on sale for our Christmas raffle. We’ve secured some fantastic prizes from businesses across York, such as Mama Doreens, The Wizard Walk of York, Yorkshire Winter Wonderland, Northwood Fairy Trail and many, many more.
Full prize details will be announced over the next few weeks, but for information on who we’ve got prizes from so far please see our Christmas wreath.
We’re also planning another film night, this time with a Christmas theme. This will be held on Friday 15th December at 18:00. The film will be democratically picked by the children, which we’ll share with you as we get closer to the night. As always, there’ll be popcorn and juice, as well as a festive hot chocolate and gingerbread person. Everyone can come in their most festive PJs, armed with teddies, blankets and anything else to get cosy under the Christmas tree.
We’re really looking forward to embracing the festive season with you and hope you can join us at some of these eventsFriends of Naburn Primary School

Friends Of Naburn Primary News
Thank you so much to everyone that came to our PTA meeting the other week. It was brilliant to have so many people there, including some new faces. We’ve planned some great events for this term and hope to see you at as many of these as possible.
To kick start everything, we’ll be celebrating National Baking Week and what better way to do this than a bake sale?! If you are able to support this in any way we would hugely appreciate it please, whether that’s baking (or donating) some tasty treats or coming along and purchasing some of them, for a small price. The sale will be held in the school playground at 15:15, on Thursday 19th October. Don’t forget to bring some change.
We’re also really excited to announce the return of the All Hallows Eve Party. This will be held at 18:00 – 19:00 on Thursday 26th October, at the village hall. More information is to come, but there will be all sorts of tricks, treats, surprises and games! This is open to older and younger siblings, as well as all of the children in the village. Come dressed to impress in your most terrifying and spooktacular outfits!!
To continue with the spooky theme, we’ll be holding the first film night of the year on Friday 20th October. This will be held in the school hall, starting at 18:00. Film choices will go out for the children to vote on, and the chosen film will be announced in an upcoming newsletter. There will be juice and plenty of popcorn for the small cost of £3.50 per child or £5 for siblings. Children are encouraged to come in the PJs, with a teddy to snuggle with.
October is going to be a busy month but we’ll be ready to get going again, after half term, with our November social. We’ll have the fantastic, York based cover band, Electric Sheep, playing hits from the 60s through to the 90s. There will also be a bar, quiz, games and to end the evening, a promise auction. To make this night a success, we need your help please? Are you able to offer a service that you would happily provide, free of charge, to raise money for the school? Do you own something that could be loaned out or have expertise in a certain field which you could provide to someone? If so, please let us know by contacting the school office. The promises that are kindly offered will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the end of the evening.
If you have any ideas that you would like to share with us, about ways we can fundraise for school, get parents engaged and include the village community please feel free to email naburnschoolpta@gmail.com.
We are hoping to raise as much money as possible, with all of our events this year, to treat the children at the end of the school year.
