Virtual Balloon Race

 

Virtual Balloon Race - 14th February 2021

Welcome to our first virtual PTA balloon race!

Covid has had an impact on the way we would normally fundraise for the PTA so we are having to find fun alternatives instead. We are currently fundraising for the school to refresh the allotment, create a story telling area in the woods and to have a bike rack fitted on the school grounds which will help make outdoor learning more enjoyable for the children and to encourage cycling to and from school.

The valentines day balloon race will replace the valentines day disco and help us raise much needed funds towards these projects. The virtual balloons will launch on February 14th from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the children can track their balloons using real time weather conditions 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!

At £3 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!
