Season of
‘Our Winter Wonderland was the highlight of their year’
Winter Wonderland. Complete with a snow machine, real reindeer and a runaway train ride, it left no doubt that Christmas had arrived. After the overwhelming success
A
of our first Winter Wonderland the year before, we’d decided to do it again. It had been another difficult year, and we all needed a treat. A big event like this is a
considerable commitment, and we estimated it would cost around £7,000. With some lucrative
s Christmas music played, the children caught sight of our
fundraising events under our belts, we were prepared to splash out, but we also approached local businesses for sponsorship and charged £5 admission to help cover costs. We raised enough in sponsorship
to pay for a runaway train ride from Leicestershire-based company Funfair Hires. We work hard to build good relationships with the owners of local companies and always send personal thank you
cards to everyone who helps us. Each year group was allocated a
time slot to visit Winter Wonderland. Pupils could try out all the rides, play in the snow, have their photo taken in Santa’s grotto and enjoy hot chocolate and a snack. We also organised visits to the
reindeers and Santa delivered presents to each classroom. We couldn’t have run it without the parents stepping up to help.
