Christmas Fayre Update from our PTA
Dear Parents/Carers,
Due to the recent flood in the infant block, we are sadly unable to have our annual Christmas fayre in the same way this year but we are looking at how we can still provide some festive fun for the children. We will then hope to hold a Spring fayre when the school buildings are fully open again.
We are still holding our non-uniform days on Wednesday 27th November and Tuesday 3rd December but we are asking for a £1 donation rather than the planned bottles, chocolates and cakes which would have been used as prizes at the fayre.
A letter with all of the details about our Christmas raffle, which we are also still going ahead with, is also coming home today so please look for that in your child’s bag. There are brilliant prizes to be won. The raffle will be drawn on Monday 15th December.
We have explained the current situation in school to Santa and he is still going to visit our children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 on Friday 6th December. If you would like your child in EYFS/KS1 to see Santa and receive a gift, please complete the link below and send the correct amount of £3.50 into school to your child’s class teacher in a named envelope. You can also purchase a large chocolate Santa coin for £1.50. Please indicate on the booking form if you wish to buy this in addition. If you would like your child to have both the visit to Santa and the chocolate coin, please send in a total amount of £5 in the named envelope. The deadline for the online form and all monies to be in is Tuesday 3rd December.

A marquee is currently being installed on the playground and once this is in place and operational, we can plan for some activities for our KS2 children and will be in touch with you once we have been able to arrange this.
We would like to thank you for your support in helping us to continue fundraising as we try to make the best of a difficult situation and hope we can still give the children a little bit of Christmas magic.
Yours sincerely,
Olton PTA
