Hello!

Due to the success of last years race, we have decided to support the virtual balloon race for a second year. Although things are improving we are unable to hold the valentines day disco in school this year so this will replace that and help us to raise some much needed funds.

Our focus continues to be raising money for some long term ongoing environmental projects to improve outdoor learning opportunities and experiences for our pupils.

The balloon race will launch on the 14th February from Trevi Fountain in Rome and the children can track their balloons using real time weather data to determine how far the balloons have travelled.

The children (and adults!) can choose the shape, colour and pattern of their balloons and even decide the weight depending on how much helium is put into each one. Messages and names can also be written on the balloons allowing you to gift balloons to friends and families and having your own race within the race!

One of our pupils won the £500 first prize last year, so lets hope one of our supporters is lucky this year. On top of the prizes on offer, we have decided that the PTA will give the top 5 supporters in our cause a £20 cash prize each and their own helium balloon!

At £4 a balloon this is a great way to have a bit of fun with your friends and family and something different for the children to get involved in and enjoy seeing how far their balloon travels over a 7 day period. Where in the world will it end up??

100% eco friendly fun!

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £264

Supporters so far: 27
