Nightingale's Amazing Talent
The Talent Show took place on 21st January and was a chance for children to show
the audience what they enjoy doing.
They practised a song, dance or music piece at home, during this exciting night. Many haven't performed to an audience before.
Jonny who compared the show said, "It was fantastic to see so many children confidently
playing instruments, dancing or singing. There were comedians who had us in
stitches and dancers who had choreographed their own routines. The singers had
beautiful voices too. Well done to the talented Nightingale kids!"
To top it off, the event raised £156

Update
Thank you for baking/bringing in your cakes and treats for the cake sale. We
received plenty of goodies to sell and raised over £100.
Our AGM took place on the 11th March and we covered the events we organised last year as well as how we have spent some of the money raised. The main items of expenditure made by the PTA last year were for:
- Nintendo DSi and Games
- Infant playground markings
- School planners
- Football kits
The PTA still has some money in the bank and will hopefully raise lots more in the coming
year to spend on the children and the school.
We have managed to keep all of the outgoing Committee and have added a few new PTA members too. The PTA members list will be updated to reflect the changes.
Keep supporting us, we can't do this without you!!

The Summer Fun Day was a great success – we were incredibly
lucky with the weather and the combination of activities/stalls; the
Talent Show; and displays meant we had a huge turnout and managed to raise lots of money for
the school.
The ever popular Halloween disco took place on October 23rd and as with
previous years, the tickets sold out very quickly. The kids looked
fantastic in their costumes and appeared to be having a great time.
Many thanks to everyone that volunteered their services at these
events and also to all those that turned up and spent their money with
us.

Welcome to the PTA...
Welcome to Nightingale Parent Teachers Association
Nightingale Parent Teachers Association works enthusiastically to raise money to buy a range of extras to improve the children’s experience at school. For example, funds raised by the PTA in the past year paid for the Gazebo, the sound systems for both the infants and junior assembly halls, and equipment for some after school clubs, amongst other things.
We organise regular events throughout the year to raise money and to provide enjoyment and fun and to bring together parents, teachers and children. Events in the past year have included a disco; an entertainer for the younger children; the summer fete; various sponsored events; a family barbecue; and the Halloween disco.
In the coming year the PTA is planning a series of similar events, and we are always open to new ideas and suggestions. We are also very keen for as many parents as possible to get involved in all our activities, so please contact the PTA through the school office if you want any more information, or want to get involved, even if it’s only to spare a couple of hours of your time to help at one of the events.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - Minutes
Nightingale Primary School PTA
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Tuesday 13th November 2007 at 9.10am
Infant Hall
Minutes of meeting
Attendees: Mrs Barrett (Chairperson),Mrs T.Veasey, Cecile Fleet (Co-secretary), G.Maclaine, M.Vogel, D.Peart, L.Highton, M.May, R.Hunter, S.Jones, D.Rosen, A.Holmes, K.Grant, E.Makowski, J.Hurst, A.Clark, X.Topping, S.Scott
Apologies:A.Blenkinsop
1. Chair’s Introduction (Mrs Barrett)
Mrs Barrett opened the meeting and welcomed everybody. She thanks the PTA members for their hard work again this year and for the purchases made in particular the new sound system in the junior hall and the Gazebo/outdoor classroom.
This area is really used a lot specially by the older children who do sketching in it. Mrs Barrett is confident that this is really well built and should last a very long time.
2&3. Finances and Secretaries Report (Cecile Fleet)
Cecile Fleet went through the events of the year and their results in fundraising. The circus started well the financial year adding a £3,000 to the fund. Some new events have been organised this year. The talent show being a repeat of what is happening during school time, revealed some very talented children to their proud parents and friends(raised £200). In addition to a Disco for the juniors we had some entertainers for the Infants. These sessions were a real success and seeing all these little faces laughing was priceless! (raised £220). We had a very pleasant ladies’ night with a fashion show(£266) and our yearly Quiz Night thanks to David and Sue Gibson (£200).Our Sponsored event wasn’t as successful as in the past. Mrs Barrett felt that is because the school does other charity activities during the year. (£740+£160 Gift Aid raised). Our summer fete was a success despite the heavy rain. Everyone felt that there was a fantastic atmosphere and everything was well organised in such a confine space. (£2,800). The family BBQ was as well very wet and windy and was not so successful. During the year we had our normal cake sales, 100 club and other income like the Yellow Moon catalogues.
In total we raised £8,800 through our events.
The PTA purchased the Gazebo(£12,000), sound system for the halls, equipment for some after school clubs, sheds and other expenditures leaving us with a healthy £10,335 in our bank account.
Some purchases are still to be done like two notice boards, a canopy for the reception classes plastic roof, sound system for the Infant hall.

5. Any Other Business
Mrs Barrett expressed concerns about the cake sales being against the new status of Healthy School awarded to Nightingale. That issue could jeopardise lots of the PTA events where we sell sweets and cakes.
Mrs Barrett to research.
