Christmas Fayre

Project

At Selly Oak Nursery, we encourage the children to think about

making or creating things that we can sell. Every year, Selly Oak

Nursery School holds a Christmas Fayre in order to raise money for

the School Economy. We talked to the children about what we could

sell at our Christmas Fayre, and they came up with some wonderful

ideas. With adult support, we talked about selling jam jars filled

with exciting surprises such as small toys, hair accessories, sweets,

stationary etc. We asked the children’s families for help in filling

some empty jam jars in order to raise money to purchase resources

for the school.

We closed the Nursery for half a day in order to transform the

Nursery into a Christmas Fayre. We asked parents to volunteer to

set up the various stalls such as bric a brac, tombola, international

food and our Jam Jar stall. Here are some of the photos

This boy wanted to win a Jam Jar, so he paid 50p to the girl

who was helping on the Jam Jar stall, and she gave him three

raffle tickets. He had the correct number and won a Jam Jar

with lots of surprises.

Here are some of the photographs of some

children purchasing second hand toys

Here are some more photographs of parents and

the children enjoying all the exciting activities

that took place at the Fayre.

After the Fayre had finished, the children were given

the opportunity to look at the money they had raised

from the sale of the Jam Jars. They looked at the

coins and talked about what they would like to purchase

with the money. With a little adult support, they

decided that they would like to buy a new mat for their

group corner. Here are some of the photos of the

children looking at the coins. (Currently, we are waiting

for the sales in the shops in order to purchase the mat!)
