Christmas Family Bingo Tickets still available
On Thursday 7th December, Year 6 will be hosting a ‘Christmas Themed Family Bingo Night’ in the school hall. Last Summer’s event was a huge success and lots of fun was had by all who attended.
This is a family event therefore all children must be accompanied by a grown-up so that they can play the game. Entrance tickets cost 50p per person – a ticket must be purchased for each person attending the event. Admission is by ticket only.
Due to fire regulations ticket availability is strictly limited. If you would like to purchase tickets, please send money in an envelope clearly labelled with your child’s name, class and the number of tickets required. The Year 6 children will collect money from classrooms and allocate tickets accordingly.
Doors will open at 5:30pm with ‘Eyes Down’ at 6:00pm.
The cards for each game will be on sale on the night and there will be 6 different coloured games during the evening with lots of Christmas / chocolate themed prizes. Bingo cards will cost 20p each or cost £1 a coloured strip for 6 cards. You can even take advantage of our offer of 6 coloured strips for £5! Of course, you can play as many cards as you can manage in each game.
Refreshments will be on sale during the evening and all funds raised are to go towards the Year 6 leavers and end of year celebrations. A raffle will also be held – if you are able to donate a prize for this it would be greatly appreciated.
I do hope you will be able to support us at this event. The more people who come the better the atmosphere so please do try to fit this event into your diary; get on your Christmas jumpers and come and have some fun!

Coffee Afternoon / Christmas Jumper Shop
On Wednesday 29th November 2:30 – 4:30pm our Friends of Green Top will be holding a coffee afternoon and running a Christmas jumper shop ready for Christmas Jumper Day!
The Friends of GT can only run the shop if they have jumpers so we would be so grateful for any donations of Christmas jumpers or costumes that you no longer use and could be used by someone else! Please pass on any donations to class teachers.
All are welcome in the hall between 2.30 and 4.30pm to enjoy a coffee and a browse. We look forward to seeing you there!
