Dear Parents / Carers

As you may already know, next week is the start of this year's BBC Children in Need Appeal.  Galley Hill School is excited to be joining in with many others around the UK to participate in the fundraising programme, the Big BBC Children in Need, Together We Can change Young Lives.

The Together We Can change Young Lives, will help your child learn about the lives of disadvantaged children across the whole of the UK, whilst developing skills like communication, teamwork and decision-making. Friday 15^th November is also the end of our anti-bullying week. So the School Council have decided to combine both special events, with Wear Something Spotty, a Colouring Competition and a Bake sale.

This is where we need your help!

You can help us make this a memorable event that raises as much money as possible, by supporting the fundraising activities in our school. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, firstly by sending in a donation on Friday 15^th November to take part in “WEAR SOMETHING SPOTTY”.

Secondly by sending in donations of cakes and biscuits (large or small) for the Bake Sale on Friday afternoon. These may be brought in all week from Monday 11^th to Friday 15^th November.

Colouring Competition

Finally by taking part in the colouring competition. Produce a picture containing Pudsey Bear or Spots. The sheets can be collected from your child’s class teacher (from Friday 8^th November) for a donation of 50p. All entries must be returned by Thursday 14^th November. There will be a prize for each winner selected by the School Council from EYFS, KS1 and KS2. So get creating.

We are aiming to raise even more this year to support disadvantaged young people across the UK.

Let’s make a big difference to the lives of children in the UK.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Higgs

The School Council
