Wrawby Community

THANK YOU, WRAWBY!

Charity Logos

The generosity of Wrawby residents, their family and friends, resulted in donations of over £1000 to charitable causes during December. We think this is front page news! The organisations shown below share this sum as a result of your donations to the Big Sing, Father Christmas's visit to Wrawby and the Christingle service at St. Mary's church.

The Poppy Appeal collection in Wrawby also raised over £300 for the British Legion, and the Pre-School received £300 raised at the autumn Village Hall lunches .

The Village Hall Lunches return on pancake day! Read more below.

The going is GOOD for Wrawby Under Fives

School

Wrawby Under Fives has been judged as a Good following a recent Ofsted inspection.

Inspectors commented on the strong leadership and well established, qualified staff team as well as the positive partnerships that are maintained with parents, carers and other settings. They also commented on the fact that the children learn about their local community and have access to a range of activities and resources that support their development and understanding of the wider world.

The report states that children enjoy their time at the setting and that they are able to demonstrate a strong sense of belonging. Children develop good levels of self-esteem and are able to work confidently by themselves, or in groups.

Wrawby Under Fives moved to its present site in 1988 and still operates from a single storey prefabricated building, in the grounds of Wrawby St Mary's C of E School.

Plans for a new building have been drawn up and although fundraising is well and truly underway a further £70,000 is still needed for the new building to become a reality. The committee is keen to hear from individuals, businesses or organisations who feel that they may be help or assist with fund raising or sponsorship to support the delivery of a new build. Anyone interested should contact Karen Mullins, Committee Chairperson at Wrawby Under Fives on tel. 07801 731222 or email:

Lunches Start on Pancake Day

Quiz Night Poster

The Autumn lunches finished with a Christmas party, and it was lovely to see so many people there. Over the period of the lunches we raised £300.90 which we have given to the pre school towards their new van. We are always happy to have children attending the lunches, several came to see Father Christmas and we hope to see them again when we restart.
The spring lunches begin on Pancake Day which is Tuesday 21st Feb. For those who have not yet been to the lunches, we meet at the Village Hall on Tuesdays at 12.30pm. There is a choice of three homemade soups, tasty bread, cheese, plum bread and tea or coffee, and good company!
There is no set charge for lunch but we ask for donations. Any money left after expenses have been paid is given away. Money raised this Spring will be divided between the Little explorers and village events planned for the Queen's Jubilee. If you can, join us for your pancakes!
