On the 24th June we are hosting another day which is dedicated to the enjoyment of reading. As part of this, we will be having a 'loungewear day' where children can come into school in comfy, loungewear clothing (no pyjamas please). Please can we make sure the children are dressed in sensible clothing that will meet the requirements of the school, bearing in mind weather conditions and suitable footwear for both indoors and outdoors.

We are asking for a £1 donation for this non-uniform day via ParentPay and the funds will go towards funding new reading resources for the school libraries (Infants and Juniors).

Well done to all the children for managing well with the heat today. Tomorrow is our Reading Loungewear day £1 donation). Use this as an opportunity to dress comfortably for the weather that we are currently experiencing. We are managing outdoor time carefully around the school to avoid peak heat and sunshine. A reminder to apply sun creams, bring sun hats and water bottles to stay hydrated.

Dear Parent/Carers,

Due to the extreme heat tomorrow, Olton will not be taking part in the Cricket Festival.  However, we shall organise something in school so that the children can apply all the skills they have learnt this year.  Thank you to all those that have volunteered and we appreciate your understanding. 

Regards,

Dear Parents/Carers,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support with Girls’ Football club and Netball club this year. 

Both clubs have now finished for this academic year and will begin in September 2026 (date to be confirmed).

Well done to all the children who have attended the clubs this year and thank you for bringing them to matches and supporting from the sidelines.  A special well done to our Year 6 players, who have been fantastic members of the team and have showed a brilliant commitment to the clubs. 

Best wishes and thank you for your continued support.

Regards,

Miss Walton

Tomorrow is our final day of Charity Week. We have our last house market as well as our blue/red non-uniform day, coin collages to complete and 'Soak the Head Teacher' so lots to look forward to.

If you have any sponsorship money from the sponsored events, please can we ask that you send that in tomorrow so we can have a final total ready to share with the children at the start of next week.

Thank you as ever for all of your support in this very busy week!

Our Reception children also have their Father's Day picnic tomorrow and so we will look forward to welcoming lots of you for that on what looks like it is going to be perfect picnic weather!

Good morning everyone, we have officially started our 2026 charity week in support of British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK. Today KS2 will be going on a sponsored walk to Jubilee Park at 1.15pm. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, your help is needed to make this a success. We are aiming to leave as close to 1.15pm as possible, so please arrive at the main school reception area from 1.00pm so we can tick you off the list! The walk will last about an hour.

Tomorrow, in KS2, Ash house will have their first breaktime market in the hall and then after school we will have our infant cake sale on the  playground opposite Sealions classroom. Please send in any cake donations tomorrow morning.

We hope to raise lots of money for two very worthy charities. Thank you for your support.

Dear Parents/Carers,

To help us raise money during Charity Week, there will be a sale on the playground after school on the Year 1 playground, this should have been today so apologies that the date has been changed to tomorrow, Wednesday 17^th June between 3:10pm and 3:30pm.    There will be sweets, chocolate and cakes for sale so the children (and adults) can enjoy a treat after school.  We would very much appreciate your support in donating homemade or bought cakes, sweets and chocolate bars.  As we will be selling these to the children after school, it would be really helpful if we could have individual chocolate bars rather than large sharing bars and individual cakes e.g. fairy cakes, muffins, mini-rolls, cake bars, cookies etc. rather than larger cakes which would need to be sliced.

If you are able to donate some small cakes for us to sell after school during Charity week, please send them into school tomorrow morning Wednesday 17^th June ensuring that the ‘use by date’ is at least until the end of June 2026.  Thank you to parents and carers who have already sent in donations.

Please can we ask that you bring in change to pay for any of the treats as we do not have a card machine.

We are all very much looking forward to charity week and thank you for your support.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Gray

Deputy Head Teacher

Dear KS2 Parents and Carers,

We are excited to launch our 2026 Charity Week.  The children are going to be voting over the next few days as to which charity they would like to support this year.  In KS2, we always start the week with a sponsored walk around Jubilee Park.  The sun mostly shines during this event and in order to make it happen we ask for at least two additional parent helper volunteers to accompany each of our KS2 classes. 

Our sponsored walk will be held on Monday 15^th June at 1.30pm.  The walk usually takes about 1 hour and we will be back in school at approximately 2.50pm.  Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed to come on the walk as we have some children who are anxious about this.  If you are able to accompany a particular class on the walk, please could you fill out the attached link below and by Wednesday 10^th June.  As ever, this is a wonderful community event, and the walk cannot go ahead without your support.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Father’s Day Picnic (Meerkats)

As shared in our forward planning document in the Autumn Term, we are delighted to invite the special male role models in our children's lives to our Father's Day Picnic on Friday 19^th June, from 12:15-12:45pm on the main school field.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate all the special male role models in our children's lives. We understand that Daddies have busy schedules, so if they are unable to attend, we would be absolutely delighted to welcome Stepdads, Grandads, Uncles to join us.

The picnic session will last approximately 30 minutes and will provide a special opportunity for you to spend quality time with your child, making lasting memories together. During the picnic, you will have the chance to share a story, enjoy lunch together, and play a favourite game, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience for both you and your child.

To help make the occasion extra special, please bring:

• A picnic blanket
• Your own lunch (please ensure that all food is nut-free)
• A favourite book to share with your child
• A small game to play together (for example: Connect 4, Hungry Hippos, Snap or another favourite family game)

The children will be provided with their own special picnic lunch box from school to enjoy. You will be able to confirm your child's preferred lunch option when completing the attendance form via the link below.

We are pleased to see that the weather is currently forecast to be warm next week, which will make for a lovely picnic experience. However, as this event will take place outdoors, it is weather dependent. Should we experience any inclement weather, we will rearrange the picnic and communicate a new date with you as soon as possible.

Please note that there is one ticket per child. When confirming your attendance, kindly indicate the name of the person who will be attending, along with your child's preferred sandwich option.

Please complete the form below to confirm your attendance:

Dear Year 5 & 6 Parents/Carers,

Though the weather is dreadful, Netball club will remain on for anyone who is unable to walk home/be collected. As we do not have access to the school hall, we are unable to play Netball indoors and so if you would like your child to go home at 3:10pm, please advise the school office. Otherwise, I will bring them to the normal gate for a 4.10 finish.

Thank you for your continued support,

Regards,

Miss Walton

Year 6 Teacher
