“DISCO TIME”

The Infant Disco is also open to all our Nursery children.

The DISCO is a lovely way for our younger pupils to meet up with their friends from school and have some fun; whilst giving Mums and Dads a chance to socialise with other parents. We know of many friendships of parents that have started off by meeting up at the Infant DISCO!  Please bring your children along; it’s fun for everyone.

 The Junior “DISCO” is 7.30pm – 8.30pm.

Entrance fee for the Disco’s is £1.50, which includes a raffle ticket to win a prize; pay on the door. Please ensure you pick your children up on time from the Junior Hall.

Under no circumstances will children be allowed to leave the premises without an adult.

Please note that Junior children are not allowed to attend the Infant Disco and older siblings should not be responsible for infant children.

TALENT SHOW 2009

This year our “Talent Show”, organised by the “Friends”, will be on WEDNESDAY 4th MARCH.

Entrance fee is £2.00 for adults and 50p for children.  Please note all children must be accompanied by an adult.

The show is a chance for our junior children to show off their talent. We want to see singers, comedians, jugglers, poets, actors, magicians.

During the show tea, coffee and light refreshments will be on sale as well as our ever popular Sweetie –Stall. We will also be selling raffle tickets giving you the chance to win some fabulous prizes.

Auditions will be held during school time the week after half-term. If you attend an audition please make sure you have rehearsed your act and have your own music, instrument, props and costumes etc. Watch out around school for the dates and times of the auditions.

Our past shows have always been a great success and we have always been astounded by the array of talent our junior children have. Start your rehearsals now!!

“Davenhill Dances on Ice”

Due to the popular TV series “Dancing on Ice”; we have arranged a skating day at Davenhill. We will have an Ice Rink located in the large hall. Cost will be £4.00 per person which will include the hire of skates. During the day there will be tea, coffee, hot chocolate and snacks on sale plus the ever popular tuck shop.

We will also be holding a raffle throughout the day with prizes including signed photographs of the stars of “Dancing on Ice”, cinema tickets and many more prizes.

The date for this extravaganza is SATURDAY 14^th MARCH; so put this date in your diary and come to Davenhill to have a superb day out with your family whilst helping us to raise money for the school. It’s going to be fantastic!

  CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR LUCKY WINNERS!!

The Friends of Davenhill would like to thank everyone who supported our “Easter Raffle” by donating all things “chocolatey” on MUFTI DAY.

Five of our Parent members of the “Friends” spent all day Tuesday making up the scrumptious hampers. On Wednesday two of our mums were in school all day sorting the winners and distributing the prizes. We are really grateful for the huge amount of chocolate sent in as it meant we were able to make up a staggering “86″ hamper prizes.

We hope all the winners thoroughly enjoy their prizes. We hope to put photos of the winners on the school website, if you were a winner, see if you are there! Please check out the “FOD BLOG” after the Easter break to see exactly how much money we raised!

Thanks again!!

You raised the magnificent sum of £548.60, all of which will go towards resources for your children.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Talent Show on Wednesday and helped to raise almost £300. 

Our talented pupils entertained us with songs, dance routines, magic and even football skills! Well done to you all.

Thank you to the Friends for organising the event, and special thanks goes to Mr Bentley and to Aintree Davenhill’s very own technician David Chan-Bell!

Raffle tickets for the Friends of Davenhill Easter Draw have been sent home to each family.  As usual the prizes for this will be lots of chocolate, including Hampers of chocolate goodies and Easter Eggs.  There will be a non-uniform day on Tuesday 11 March.  The “fine” for the children to wear their own clothes is to bring into school something chocolate – Easter Eggs, boxes or bars of chocolate, biscuits or cakes (chocolate) etc.  The draw will take place on Wednesday 12 March.  The more tickets you buy the greater chance you have to win one of the fabulous chocolate hampers. 

Good Luck!! 

Well done to everyone who auditioned for this year’s Talent Show.
