On Sunday 25 Feb, 16 of our Paris Cyclists joined our 47-mile practice ride, looping to Windsor. It was a nippy start, ski wear had been pulled out of drawers for the outing. Following some bike chain entanglement, there was the matter of a spoke situ - resolved with a hairband. All in all, an excellent success and we all managed to stick together until (almost) the end! Bring on the next practice ride - only 3 more months 'til the big day!
Jersey competition to be launched soon. Details to follow.
It's back! Our much-loved event 'Bounce-a-thon 2024' is happening on 15th March in the school playground, sponsored by 'Five Fish' who are supporting the event this year.
Vicky Brown and Marianne Kiermayr, our fabulous Bounce-a-thon team will be going into school this week to tell all the children about it. All the children get to bounce as much as they can in a minute and receive a certificate for their efforts.
It is a huge fundraiser for FOSS, where we raise the grand total of £10,000 through sponsorship, so please spread the word to friends and family to help each year group raise their target of £1,500. Our aim is to raise funds to help our school expand its curriculum, by providing wellbeing, music and sports resources for our children. All of these enable us to remain in the top 100 primary schools out of 2,588 schools in England.
Sponsor tinyurl.com/2ZUU9EYH before 31st March!
The FOSS Friday cake sale takes place every week in the playground after school. Last year it raised a staggering £5,700 for the school. Many thanks to everyone who donated and bought cakes.
As a reminder - in order to keep our whole school community safe we always ask that homemade or shop bought cakes do not contain nuts, coconut or sesame. Many shop bought cakes will say 'may contain nuts' and, given people bake in their homes, we can never guarantee the sale is completely 'nut free,' as traces may exist. Any cake bought at the sale is under parental supervision, not school supervision. Parents who give their children money to visit the sale are accepting parental responsibility (especially for Yr5 and Yr6 children whose parents may not be present at pick up). Children going to Stars on a Friday afternoon do not visit the cake sale, instead a cake is provided directly by Stars to children who would like to visit. Thank you in advance to everyone over this school year that will bake, buy and help make our cake sales succesful and safe.
Many thanks
The Cake Sale Team
