				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;d like to say a BIG THANK-YOU to our parents and carers who made lots of yummy buns and came to our Children In Need bake sale last Wednesday. Our children had a special treat of eating a spotty bun at snack time and we sold the rest of the buns at pick-up. We raised a fantastic £60.55 for this great cause. Many thanks!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000080;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Summer Garden Party – Saturday 2<sup><span style="font-size: small;">nd</span></sup> July 2.00 – 4.00pm</span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Thank-you to everyone for coming to, and also helping out at, our annual Summer Garden Party on Saturday. Although the weather hasn&#8217;t been particularly &#8216;summery&#8217; so far, we enjoyed a day of good weather and lots of play. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Our most popular event, which has become a firm fixture in the pre-school calendar, was very well attended. There were garden games, fantastic face painting, bun decorating, raffle and prizes. Although this wasn&#8217;t primarily a fundraising event we still managed to raise over £100 from our very generous families attending on the day! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">For some parents it was their first time in our lovely garden and many commented on what a great space it was for the children to be able to play in. We think so too!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">We would also like to give a big &#8216;thank-you!&#8217; to our friends at Ilkley Moor Vaults for providing us with a voucher as one of our raffle prizes.</span></p>
