Friends of St Peter's Junior School Ruddington

We hope everyone enjoyed the International Cafe at the end of school today. It was lovely to see so many families enjoying the snacks.

It is our pleasure to support this event every year through financial support and volunteers. It is a great enhancement to the curriculum.

We are excited to be using some of our "Big One" fundraising towards this exciting project.

Over the last few years we have been setting funds aside for a BIG playground project. Unfortunately the change in circumstances means we don't know what a permanent playground will look like so we decided to help make the temporary learning village play area a little more interesting.

We can’t wait to see the finished design.

To bring some fun, creativity and playfulness to our new Learning Village, we're delighted to welcome local artist – and internationally renowned creative – Bruce Asbestos, who is currently creating a unique large-scale artwork in our courtyard.

Bruce's work has been exhibited around the world, including at Tate Modern (London), the Venice Biennale, the Hayward Gallery, SXSW (USA) and the Bangkok Biennale. He has also collaborated with organisations such as the National Trust.

We are incredibly excited that his latest project is taking shape right here at St Peter's, Ruddington! You can explore more of Bruce's amazing work here: https://www.instagram.com/bruceasbestos/?hl=en-gb

A huge thank you to Friends of St Peter's Junior School Ruddington for making this possible.

We are pleased to share further details of our summer party.

This year we will have

Inflatables zone
Teddy and chocolate tombola's (keep hold of those teddies for now!)
FOS bar
Epic burgers and loaded fries
Fairground games
Outdoor disco
Ice cream van
Raffle
and lots of fun!!!
Our raffle will be similar to last year with each year group being asked to bring items of a certain colour. We loved seeing all your interesting contributions.
Please do not send any teddies or raffle donations in to school before 6th July as there is no storage space. 10th July will be non school uniform in exchange for chocolate.

Thank you for your continued support.

A unique opportunity is available to a street food vendor to provide food EXCLUSIVELY at our summer fair.

Last year the queue was non stop for 3 hours!

Ideally we would like a trader who can provide hot food, at a reasonable cost and offer something for different dietary needs. Food hygiene certificate will be required.

If this opportunity is of interest to you please get in contact ASAP, once we have found something suitable we will no longer accept applications.

email [email protected] to enquire.

Our 2nd to last meeting of the year.

Our next meeting will also be our AGM and we will need people to fill essential roles within the committee as members "retire"

So if you are thinking of joining the committee, now is the time. We welcome current year 2 parents to attend ahead of their children starting at St Peter's Junior School, Ruddington

Any questions before attending please reach out via FB or email [email protected]

This is a big celebration for the school community and you are all welcome.

The year 6 pupils work so hard in this term preparing for their SATs. At the end of term they work on their DT project to design and make an ice cream truck and as a reward for all their hard work Friends of St Peter's Junior School Ruddington fund a visit from the ice cream man on the last day of half term.

Each student thanked our Chair as they walked back into class.

Today was a perfect day for ice cream! 🍦
