FUNDING GOALS
These are the projects we are working towards for 2020/21.
Play Equipment
Our longest standing goal has been to install permanent play equipment on the playing field. FOMSA and school staff are working hard to obtain grants and quotes.
Cycling Lessons
We are aiming to fund cycling lessons from Suffolk County Council for year 6 pupils.
Playing Field
As part of the play equipment project, we are also doing our best to ditch the muddy puddles and achieve a beautiful green field!
Waterproof Clothing
Although they are unable to use them at this time, the current Seedlings waterproofs need replacing in the near future.
Fundraising Achievements
Here are the wonderful projects and equipment that your donations have funded in 2019/20.
Playing Field Improvements
During lockdown, Mrs Jones has orgnised Wood That Works to make serveral items for Seedlings and the playing field, including a mud kitchen, bench, fencing and sandpit.
This is just the start of a much bigger project aimed at improving the playing field for all pupils (see above Funding Goals).
Forest School
Mrs Davies has done an excellent job sourcing lots of equipment for the Forest School area. FOMSA were pleased to fund a fire pit, den building equipment and various other tools that will potentially be for the benefit of the whole school.
Playpod
This shed is a treasure trove full of junk, and encourages imagination and creativity. Next year we will be looking at the best way to source the refills (see Funding Goals).
Other Items
We have also funded: a camera for Sycamore class, garden supplies, a toaster for breakfast club, a flipchart for Seedlings class, a rug for pine class, Christmas gifts for pupils and the Christmas turkey!
