Chair's Report 2021/2022
I would like to thank everyone who has given their time and support to FOBSA over the last year. That includes our core of committed volunteers, our Headteacher and all the Staff who have contributed to making the last year a successful one.
Since our last AGM in October 2021 we have held several popular and creative events which the children have thoroughly enjoyed. We have also raised funds to support several projects around school to improve the children's environment and education. I will run through these now...
In October we held a Crazy Hair Day and Cake Sale. The children were very enthusiastic with their hair designs and enjoyed the fun of coming to school with brightly coloured hair. Some were even more creative and really got on board with the idea. Crazy hair was a definite success and is worth repeating as it's an easy win for FOBSA with little organisation required. The Cake Stall was also a big success with long queues and plently of donations. The leftovers were donated to the staff and to wraparound.
Also in October we had a Green School working day where FOBSA volunteers helped Chris construct some planters for the KS2 playground. This was part of the Green Schools project aiming to transform the grey wall and featureless KS2 playground into a greener brighter and more nature-friendly place. I think we can all agree it's looking much better, with the green hedge, pond and planters in place.
On Friday 19th November we held an Own Clothes Day in aid of Children in Need. These are also popular and we hold one or two each year, usually in aid of a worthy charity. Children came in clothes with spots or stripes, or wore Teddy ears. Each donated £1 for Children in Need. We raised £285 for the charity.
On 25th November we hosted a Call My Wine Bluff with the help of Mr Armstrong. This was a wine tasting event at THe Old Chapel Cellars Wine Shop - for parents - with a quiz. I hear it was a fun evening and wellsupported.
In December we were able to hold our first Christmas event since lockdown, and everyone pulled together to organise a fantastic Winter Fest in the playgrounds. This was well received and attended, with an appearance by Father Christmas and some amazing stalls esp the gift tombola and Teddy tombolas, which were a big hit with the children. The chocolate tombola is always a winner, and to supply it we had a Christmas Jumper Day the week before, where children wore a Christmas jumper to school in exchange for a chocolate donation. We also ran a refreshments stall with hot chocolate, mince pies and mulled wine, with kind donations from Andy at Sainsburys. There was also some lovely carol singing by the school choir. Well done for the team effort needed to pull this off - we all worked together and made it a big success.
Class 11 also held a bake sale on the last day of term in December, raising a tasty £61.45 for FOBSA - well done class 11!
On Monday 31st January, some FOBSA helpers along with Miss Davies, Chris and some Bosvigo pupils helped plant up the Living Wall with the plants provided with a £1000 donation from FOBSA. We had previously constructed the black boxes and Chris had secured them to the wall, so the planting could get underway. It's been lovely to see the Living wll grow and flourish this summer. There have been a lot of positive comments from parents too.
On 14th February 2022 after school we held another cake stall, with a Valentine's theme, combined with a Uniform sale. Again this was well supported and very popular.
On 17th February we hosted a Gingo Party at Rocco's Bar, organised by Jojo as usual. These have been a regular feature of the FOBSA calendar, with a combination of gin, bingo, music and prizes. They are a fun way to meet other parents and raise some valuable funds too.
On Friday 18th March we held another Own Clothes Day, this time in aid of Comic Relief. Agaim this was well supported and enjoyed.
Our Movie Night on 24th March featured 3 films, Encanto, Turning Red and Sing 2, located around the school. We charged £1.50 admission with popcorn included. We were slightly overwhelmed when more than 200 children attended ( usually it's around 100) but we had the help of Chris and some volunteer staff and amazingly we didn't run out of popcorn! We had to record who was going to each film which made the entrance queue quite long. The children enjoyed watching a movie with their friends, and many came in onesies with blankets to settled in for the entertainment. We raised £318 so it was a successful event. But I am never making that much popcorn again!
On 17th May with Covid restrictions eased we held a Bosvigo school Disco. We had two sessions, KS1 at 5-6pm and KS2 at 6.30 to 7.30pm. We charged £2 admission and provided a snack bar for the children to buy treats. The DJ ws excellent and soon had the children dancing,with small prizes for competition winners. It was a very loud night but thoroughly enjoyed by the children, many of who dressed up for the occasion.
Our Grand Finale was the Summer Fayre on 2nd July.
Chris organised a 5--side football tournament in the morning, and by midday we had a stream of hungry players and parents arriving for the BBQ and drinks.
Fortunately the weather was kind, and we had several stalls outside including the resoundingly successful Teddy stall, a gift Tombola and a chocolate and sweet tombola too. We had traditional games such as hook a duck and a coconut shy, as well as a book stall, jam stall, uniform stall, tattooes and a carousel.
We also hired a bouncy castle, which was a big hit with the children, and ran a refreshments stall with cakes and drinks.
This was a huge team effort and FOBSA pulled together to run the event smoothly, again with the help of several dedicated members of staff.
Thank you team FOBSA for all the time, organisation and effort you have each given in the past year. We have raised some good funds which have provided valuable additions to the school - books, year 6 hoodies and plants for the living wall. We have also given the children memorable experiences and fun to enrich their school lives.
I now have to pass the baton on to the next generation of FOBSA parents as my child has left Bosvigo, but I will remain on the WhatsApp group for advice and support if needed.
