Successful Spring Fair at Eastern Primary School

Mrs Skea announces
the results of the raffle.

On Saturday morning 19 May, Eastern Primary School held it's Spring Fair. This major fundraiser was organised by a sub-group of the parent Council under the leadership of Chairperson, Elaine Smith. For the first time the school used the Games Hall in their 'new' building where they re-located last year. This provided a large covered area for the stalls and many activities including face painting while some of the sporting activities took place outside such as the climbing wall. It was good to see so many parents and carers, children and teachers enjoying the attractions; it had the buzz of a busy covered market. The top raffle prize of an iPad2 drew a high level of interest in the draw. Depute Head Mrs Skea announced the winners at the end of the morning.  
As well as the fun of the fair, there was a wall chart inviting post-it comments from parents about what the school should 'Keep Doing', 'Stop Doing' and 'Start Doing'. This should provide a useful additional channel for feedback to the staff under the leadership of new Head Teacher Mrs Knox.
