Wow – what a term it has been! Thank you for all your support of the PTA and our activities. Without your support, we couldn’t support our lovely school and ensure that our children and the amazing staff have the opportunity to thrive and flourish!
Here’s what we’ve been up to this term, and what’s coming up next in the new year.
Moonshot 2021
Our Race to the Moon is completed, and what an amazing adventure we have had. Our total journey time across the four weeks is an amazing 801 hours and 46 minutes, which is awesome! Westminster, Charing Cross and the Teachers & Staff landed their spaceships on the moon, but collectively Coopers Lane Primary School has travelled to the moon and back 5 times.
Westminster won the Moonshot Class Treat Afternoon in Key Stage 1/EYFS, and Charing Cross won in Key Stage 2.
Our fundraising total for the challenge is £790 and counting – thank you to everyone who donated. If you have any funds to donate from the sponsorship forms, please return them to the school office as soon as you. Every penny helps and will go towards the new school library.
Congratulations to everyone who raced to the moon – we hope that you had fun and enjoyed taking part in this active travel challenge. Maybe you will leave the car at home when we return in January, and keep walking, cycling and scooting to school instead!
Christmas Raffle Hampers
It has been great to see so many parents, carers and staff in person at the fabulous Christmas productions over the last few weeks. The teachers and kids worked so hard and every show brought a smile to our faces! Thank you to everyone for supporting the Christmas Hamper Raffles – we raised an incredible £1,411 thanks to your generosity. We hope those of you who were lucky enough to win the gorgeous hampers enjoy your prizes.
Next Event: Ceilidh Night, 28th January
Our next big fundraising event will be our annual ceilidh night on Friday 28 January at 7pm. You can now purchase your ticket via Eventbrite here. This is a great night and lots of fun, so do come along and learn a few ceilidh moves! Obviously, if Covid19 restrictions change and we are unable to host this night, we will let you know.
And Finally..
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported the PTA over the past year. It’s not been an easy one at all, but your support has kept us going.
A huge thanks go out to the PTA Committee – Isobel Clift, Sharon Ibbotson, Claire Carter, Amanda Woodburn & Jacks Lampon – who all worked tirelessly, for free, in their spare time, to make sure that the PTA is active and supporting the school as much as we can.
Special thanks also to Tom Royal and Adrian Legouix, who have helped develop our website, design our new logo and improve our digital presence. You are both awesome!
Thank you to the teachers, office staff and the children & their parents and carers for getting involved and raising lots of money for your school. What an incredible community we are!
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. STAY SAFE, PUT YOUR FEET UP, ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES AND WE WILL SEE YOU IN JANUARY!
