🎃🕸️ CONAU MELYSION CALAN GAEAF | HALLOWEEN SWEET CONES 🕸️🎃

Fancy a little Halloween treat? 👻🍬

We're getting ready for our Halloween discos, and Ffrindiau will be making Halloween sweet cones for just £2 each! 🎃🍭

🍬 A spooky selection of sweets
🎃 A fun Halloween treat
💷 Just £2 per cone!

📅 WHEN ARE THE DISCOS?

🎃 Tuesday 20th October: Nursery to Year 2
👻 Wednesday 21st October: Years 3 to 6

🧙‍♀️🧛‍♂️ FANCY DRESS IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! 👻🧟‍♀️

Let's see those spooky costumes, little witches, ghosts, vampires and everything in between! 🎃🕸️

Please make sure costumes are suitable for the school day and children can use the toilet independently while wearing them. Normal school rules still apply.

🎉 The discos take place during school hours, so entry is FREE!

🍬 HOW TO GET YOUR SWEET CONE

You can either pre-order and pay through Zeffy, or your child can bring £2 into school on the day if they'd like to buy one.

Sweet cones are being made for Nursery to Year 2, but children in Years 3–6 are welcome to order one too! They'll also have access to the Halloween tuck shop on the day. 👀🍬

❤️ Every penny raised supports Ffrindiau Awel Taf and helps us fund projects and resources for our school.

👇 PRE-ORDER YOUR SWEET CONES HERE:

🍊🚨 WHEN EVEN THE ORANGES ARE HELPING US FIND LOST UNIFORM… WE KNOW IT'S SERIOUS! 🚨🍊😂

Forget the search parties… forget the missing posters… THE FRUIT HAS JOINED THE FIGHT. 💀🤣

“LOOK FOR YOUR HOODIE” 🍊👀

Honestly, we couldn't have written a better public service announcement ourselves. 😂

Jokes aside, though, after going through the lost property before the summer holidays, I can honestly say it was pretty disheartening to see just how much uniform was left unclaimed. 🥺

So if your little one has lost a cardigan, jumper or hoodie, consider this your sign to have another look! 👕🧥🔎

And while we're on the subject of lost uniform, labelling really does help! 🏷️ If you're looking for name labels designed to withstand washing, you can check out STIKINs here:

👉 https://www.stikins.co.uk/order/

If you order, you can also use our Ffrindiau fundraising reference 9417. ❤️

The search continues… and apparently, even the fruit is trying to help. 🍊😂
