Christmas Fayre 2023 - 2nd December 2023

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make the Christmas Fayre such a success on Saturday 2nd December. It was marvellous to see so many new faces and past pupils attending this wonderful Christmas event.

A massive thank you to the new PTFA team who worked tirelessly to make it the success that it was. Santa's Grotto was a highlight and we thank Santa for fitting us in at such short notice because we know how busy he is right now!

There were tombola stalls, toy stalls, Irish Dancing, an abundance of food stalls including mulled wine and mince pies, creative activities and pony rides to name but a few. There was something for everyone.

Thank you again to everyone for all your support!  The financial results of the Christmas Fayre raised £3,903.58 and a net profit of £2,730.47.

Again, these amazing results would have not been possible with the amazing efforts of our school community.

 

 

Summer Fayre 2024

The summer fayre 2024 was an incredible success.

It has always been known as the “International day “in the history of OLOG and that was truly
reflected in the international food stall where local cuisine from different cultures were brought in by the
parents, showcasing the diversity and inclusion at our school.

The weather could not have been any better, the sun was shining and the attendance just brilliant.
Queues at the entrance slowly disappeared as the children and adults immersed themselves into the fun
of many stalls organised by the PTFA.

Highlights were the wet sponge stall where children could throw a wet sponge at Mr Small - and Alex.  Other successful stalls being

• Shoot the Ball,
• What’s in the Box
• Hook the Duck,
• Didi cars,
• Arts and Crafts,
• uniform and preloved toys sale amongst many others.

A DJ played the latest hits, and the guitar performance was incredible.  At 3.00pm the Irish dancers hit
the dance floor followed by many talents at our school participating at the OLOG Talent show.

Parents and children were dancing to incredible music in the later hours of the day.
The BBQ was lit and that was when the party started. An incredible day for parents, friends, teachers
and especially children. Thank you to all volunteers, PTFA committee members and school for making
this such a success.

 

Summer Fayre 2022

After a three year wait, we were able to hold a Summer Fayre this year. The sun shone for us and so many of our families came along to make a success of the day. At the fayre we raised a very impressive £2449. With the two tuck shop sales, the total has risen to £2562. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a great success. Please read some of the children's reviews below.

                        

" The 2022 OLOG Summer Fayre was spectacular! Vibrant colours fill your field of vision, everywhere you looked. The smell of mouthwatering food and spices flew into your nose as you gaped in awe at the Tombola rewards. Fantastic music played and there were many activities to do; from playing ping-pong and football, to buying ice-cream, raffle tickets and books. It was GREAT!!" John, Year 6

"The OLOG 2022 Summer Fayre was a wonderful day. There were lots of activities as well as a large variety of food including hot dogs, burgers, jollof rice, beef curry and much more! My favourite activitywas the fidget gambling game. There were many other stands such as the kids and adult tombolas, name the teddy to keeep it and many more." Daniela, Year 6

Theatre Trip - 'Oh no it isn't... Oh yes it is!'

What a fantastic time the whole school had when they watched the panto 'Little Red Riding Hood' at Greenwich Theatre. Thank you so much to the PTFA for funding this and to all the parents who helped on the trip.

One of our parents commented - "A magical walk through Greenwich Park and the excitement was palpable. The kids were amazing and so well behaved during the long walk. Once we arrived at the theatre I was impressed at how the kids took their seats and sat expectant for what was to come.

Little Red Riding Hood did not disappoint, from the stage and costumes, the music and songs, the dancing and scripting, the hilarious jokes and quips all part of a panto experience. Most of all was seeing the faces of the children, dancing in their seats, laughing with joy, the Dame, the Wolf, Little Red riding Hood and her Prince  and of course Mr Small who played a starring role in his own right!

I would not have missed it for the world.  I hope the OLG can continue the experience for other children in the years ahead"
