Friends of West Lane Christmas Fayre - 2011
As 10am fast approached, the finishing touches were being put in place; the chocolate fountain was gushing, the cooks were cooking and helpers were helping at the stalls. The face painters were ready with some fabulous colours and the crafts were waiting for the glitter and glue. Santa was on his way and would be arriving in plenty of time to get settled in his comfy chair, all that was needed was for the doors to open...
WOW what can I say, people arrived and kept arriving throughout the morning and into the afternoon. They queued for tickets for the tombola stalls, they queued for soup and a hot dog, they even queued for Santa! They made Christmas cards, pop up Santa's and so much more.
They went from plain and very well behaved patient children to Beautiful Butterflies, Disco Queens, Pirates, Tigers and many more amazing creations thanks to our Fantastic Facepainters.
A very big thank you goes out to all those who donated items as without your generosity we would not have been able to hold such as successful event. A huge thank you to those who helped in the preparation beforehand, on the day and especially the cleaning up!
Did I mention is was a successful event......together we have raised in excess of £1500 so far with the raffle prize tickets to be available at the Children's Christmas Shows to be held soon. We will update you with the winning tickets and the final total before Christmas.

Christmas Fair - Reminder......
It's not too late to donate items for the Christmas fair being held in the Lower School Hall on Saturday 26th November 2012. We are planning on having a chocolate and booze tombola as well as stalls for toys, books and a fabulous raffle.
There will be face painting and christmas crafts to keep the children happy and of course Santa will be there.....he might even read us a story. Write him a letter and post it in our special postbox to be sure of a reply.
Please come along and support our school as all money made is given to the school to improve the learning environment for our children.

Leaver's Prom 2009
Last night the red carpet was laid out for pupils at Winlaton West Lane as they arrived in style in a fleet of limos for the Y6 Prom.
The school entrance and upper school hall were given a Hollywood makeover for the Oscars themed bash.
The children looked fantastic in their beautiful gowns and formal suits and wouldn't have looked out of place at any star-studded Hollywood event.
Check out the photostory of the nights events.
