Dear all,
As we outlined earlier in the school year the OLM – PSA are trying some new events for fundraising this year to ensure that all children can take part.
Last term we enjoyed the successful Reindeer Day and Christmas Fayre which enabled us to fund …
Think Science
The profits from the Christmas Fayre have funded the Think Science Workshops for P1 to P6. Feedback from the children and staff has been extremely positive and we hope to be able to fund this activity each year (although as the workshops are so expensive we are likely only to be able to fund this every second year for each class). Total cost £3100.
Playground equipment
Thanks to the Reindeer Day the PSA are purchasing approximately £900 of play equipment to keep the children occupied at play time.
Look out for the hula hoops, Frisbees, ribbons, balls and more which should be in the playgrounds from next week.
We have also set aside £500 for paint for playground markings as part of the joint playground initiative.
Dates for your diary…
Easter Egg Hunt Days – Monday 27th (P1,2,3 & 7) and Tuesday 28th March (P4,5,& 6)
All children will be able to take part in the OLM Easter Egg hunt organised by Mr McCann. For P1 & P2 this will involve finding letters to make an Easter word and P3 – P7 will use a full orienteering course round the school to find clues.
Children can wear Easter colours, take part in the egg hunt, Easter activities and will take home a small hollow chocolate egg.
We ask that every child brings £1.50 to cover the costs and to raise funds for the playground initiative. Money can be brought in on the day or in advance. We will also need parent helpers each day morning and afternoon. We will put out a request for helpers on the OLM- PSA facebook page.
Summer Fun Day – Saturday 3rd June
We’ve decided to try a fun day in the school / playground (weather dependant) with games, bouncy castle, bricks for kids, toys, face painting, home baking, tea room etc. with no entry fee and no activity costing more than £1. All profits raised will go back to activities and resources for the children. Full details to follow…
School Discos – back by popular demand
Tuesday 13th June – P1 (6.30 to 7.30pm) & P4 (7.45 to 9.00pm)Wednesday 14th June – P2 (6.30 to 7.30pm) & P5 (7.45 to 9.00pm)Thursday 15th June – P3 (6.30 to 7.30pm) & P6 (7.45 to 9.00pm)(P7 have a leavers’ Ceilidh)
We hope that these events will be fun for the children whilst raising much needed resources for the children and school.
