We are planning a very exciting Arts Week (w/b 30th June) across the school. All of the children will be creating some incredible art works but I am also looking for the following which can be used for some of our 3D sculptural pieces.

*Old newspapers (for collage and papier mache)
*Wool
*Fabric
*Clean, plastic milk cartons
*Craft items eg pipe cleaners or buttons

I would really like to make a giant sculpture to display in school but to make the structure, I am looking for any chicken wire which I can use make the frame of the sculpture. If you have anything on the list that we might be able to repurpose and use to create something amazing, please send it into the school office in a bag next week. I look forward to sharing more exciting news about Arts Week shortly.

Many thanks,

Mr Chamberlain

Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are delighted to invite you to our Nursery Graduation ceremony, a special occasion to celebrate the end of the school year and to honour the incredible growth and achievements of the Nursery children. This memorable event will take place on Wednesday, 16^th July 2025, at 2:15pm on the Nursery playground.

The Nursery Graduation marks an important milestone in your child's early education journey. It is a time to reflect on the wonderful experiences and learning that have taken place over the past year. This celebration acknowledges their hard work, perseverance, and the friendships they have built, providing a sense of accomplishment as they prepare to move forward to the next stage.

Due to limited space within the Nursery, we kindly ask that only two adults attend per child. This ensures we can accommodate everyone comfortably and make the event as enjoyable as possible. Additionally, we request that younger siblings do not attend, allowing us to maintain a calm and focused environment for the graduates.

We look forward to celebrating this memorable milestone with you and your child. Your presence will make the day even more special for our young graduates.

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

The Nursery Team

Olton Primary School

Just a reminder that we are celebrating National Numeracy Day tomorrow.
The main aim of the day is to celebrate all things
mathematical!

The children are invited to come into school wearing a top
that has a number displayed somewhere on it. This can
include football shirts, t shirts, jumpers etc. Or they can
simply use a sticker to display a number of their choice. This
should be worn with their normal school uniform e.g.
trousers or skirt.

Children in Nursery, Reception and Year 1 may choose
to wear a top that is the colour of their favourite numicon or
numberblocks number.

We would like all children to then prepare three facts about
their chosen number.
For example, child might choose the
number 50. Their three facts could be:
 - It is an even number
 - Half of 100 is 50
-  5 groups of 10 make 50

Thank you for your ongoing support.
