Good morning, Parents/Carers of Year 1,

Trust you are all enjoying the Easter break!  This is a further update on the trip!

As you know the school would like to take the children of Year 1 to Twycross Zoo a week on Friday 29^th April 2022.  For us to do this we have to rely on contributions from Parent/Carers.

As of today's date, we have only received 48% of contributions, which would not cover the cost of the trip.  

I do appreciate we have asked for the payment by this Friday 22/4/2022, but I wanted to ensure that all Year 1 Parent/Carers are aware, should we not receive further contributions towards this trip, it would need to be cancelled.

Many thanks

Mrs Chakmak

Dear Parents/Carers/Children,

We are delighted to invite children from across the school to take part in a variety of Easter and Spring competitions at Olton and we know that our children enjoy taking part in these activities. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category and for each phase.

Children may enter the various Competitions as shown below. Any child can enter any category, regardless of year group, allowing children to build on skills year on year. It is important that entries are brought into school on Thursday 7th April 2022, with your child’s name either on the reverse or somewhere discrete. We shall post photographs on School Dojo.

Category 1: Egg(s) in a scene – a blown or hard-boiled egg(s) within a scene of your choice - be as creative as you like. Why not create for favourite superhero, book character or even a teacher?

Category 2: An Easter Garden/Spring garden, modern or traditional, using a range of real plants/grass, twigs, stones, etc. (see image below – lots of ideas can be safely googled!).

Category 3: Easter Bonnets - create a spring inspired hat. Category 4: A decorated Cake. We know that Olton has the best bakers! Why not have a go at decorating a spring or Easter inspired cake.

Best wishes.
