Dear parents and carers,

During lunch time clubs on 23^rd August we are running an optional Pictureproducts melamine plate or clock activity. Your child's unique artwork will be transformed into a durable, high-quality melamine Pictureplate or clock that will last a lifetime.

A small percentage of the cost of the plate or clock will go towards fundraising for Legacy which does wonderful work for our Defence Veterans.

Both decorative and useful, Pictureplates and clocks make wonderful mementos. Your child can use photos, markers, paints, and handprints to create their artworks, and you can have as many copies made as you'd like, so it's a fantastic gift idea for grandparents and other family members. We expect plates to be delivered in November in time for Christmas.

We are aware of the cost-of-living pressure facing all families so please keep in mind this activity is optional and there is no pressure to participate.

We recommend you do a practice run with your child at home so they know what design they will draw on their Pictureplates or clocks. Simply grab an A4 piece of paper, copy the outline of a dinner plate and create a design together that you are happy with. During lunchtime they will copy the design onto their template and add any additional photos or craft items to their final copy.
