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. A small prize for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place in each category and for each phase will be awarded.

EASTER COMPETITONS 2025

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 10^th April 2025, 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.

In Reception, we have a child with a severe egg allergy and so please can we ask that if your child wants to enter one of the categories that you do not create an egg character/eggs in a scene. Please can we also ask that if you create a garden or bonnet that you do not include real egg shell within the design. Thank you for your support.

We look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations.

Best wishes.

We sent £75 to Ronald McDonald House & £75 to Mad Hatters which left £2603.90. £2083.12 for Kids Village (80%) and £520.78 for a project at school (20%)

A HUGE thank you!
