One of the biggest jobs for the committee every year is to raise funds for the pre-school to allow us to buy new equipment for the children. With only a small cohort of children, this is always difficult, but amidst a pandemic it’s even harder. We have had to come up with new ideas to engage the children and their families. This year we raised a little over £1400. This is less than half of what we would usually manage, but thanks to the efforts of every member of the committee, is a lot more than I expected going into this year.
We have done our usual dress up weeks and Smarties tubes, as well as decorating an Easter Egg and creating firework pictures. We adapted our sponsored Teddy Trek to make it COVID safe but were unable to go ahead with the Sports Day and Picnic in the Park that we had planned. As we weren’t able to hold a Christmas fair, we tried out “Christmas Fair in a bag” which proved so popular we created a Spring version too. One of my personal favourites this year was arranging for the children to receive a personalised letter from Santa. It was wonderful to help spread a little magic in such difficult times.
We also held our first ever virtual book fair with Usborne books which was a great success. We had sales of over £440, giving us £264 to spend on new books. This may not be reflected in the pre-school accounts but provided us with some wonderful a lot of new books to share with the children. We already have plans in place for another book fair before Christmas so watch this space.
As ever, I must take this opportunity to thank Helen and all the staff for their fantastic work over the last year. It’s been another year of great uncertainty and they have had to adapt quickly. They continue to weather the COVID storm, always keeping the happiness and safety of the children at the forefront of everything they do. Whilst I hope that the coming year is calmer for us all, I can say with great confidence, that pre-school can handle whatever is thrown at us.
