2025 PENNY WARS 7-10 APRIL
Start saving your pennies for Dunalley Penny Wars!  Each class will be given an empty jar to fill with as many copper coins as possible. But… you can help your teacher sabotage another class by bringing in silver coins to put in another class’s jar.

1p gives 1 point, 2p gives 2 points.  5p subtracts 5 points and 10p subtracts 10 points.  The class with the most points wins a treat box for their class.  The winning class will be announced in assembly. 

BINGO NIGHT
We were so pleased to see everyone having a great time at our Bingo Night last week.  We also ran a raffle alongside and raised a total of £316.  We are looking forward to arranging another event soon.

PTFA FUNDS
Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the money that the PTFA raises?  So far this year, the whole school has benefitted from a willow weaving workshop (and amazing sculptures), a pantomime and a planetarium experience - all fully funded by the PTFA.  Thank you so much for supporting us - whether you have organised events, helped to run a stall, attended an event or volunteered for just 30 minutes, we want to say thank you for your continued support. We are busy working towards funding the Dunalley Literature Festival too!  If you want to have your say, you are welcome to come along to the next PTFA meeting.

PTFA MEETING 06/04/25
Please come along to our next PTFA meeting on Tuesday 8th April,  7.30pm, at The Hewlett on Harp Hill.  We hope to see you there.
