Let’s make this term one to remember! **A HUGE thank you** to everyone who generously donated books at the end of last term. Your support means the world to us! We’re planning a **Book Fayre** later this month and once we’ve confirmed the date with the school, we’ll share all the details. If you’ve got any more books to donate (perhaps after your post-Christmas clear out?), we’d love to take them off your hands! Just contact us [here](mailto:hello.lvspta@gmail.com) to arrange a drop-off. **The Big 2026 Challenge** is coming! We’re challenging every child to raise **£20.26** in any way they can think of - whether it’s a readathon, a toy sale, a sponsored walk, hula hooping, litter picking, or something totally creative! The more inventive, the better! We’ll be using the **Superkind platform** so the children can create their own pages and share pictures of their challenges. Stay tuned for more info, we plan to run this throughout the entire spring term! Next up, the **ever-popular school disco** is making a comeback! We're just finalizing the date with the school and [**Magic Star Parties**](https://magicstarparties.uk/), and once we do, we’ll share all the booking info with you. Get ready to dance the night away! We’re also planning our **first-ever Easter Chocolate Raffle**! We’ll be asking for year group specific Easter chocolate donations during our **Non-Uniform Day on February 13th**. These donations will be packaged into hampers and raffled off online on the last day of term. It’s going to be an egg-cellent event, so don’t miss out! We’ll need plenty of **volunteers** throughout the term to make these events a success. Whether you can help out at the disco, sort Easter chocolates into hampers, or are a pro with cellophane and want to make our hampers look *amazing*, we’d love your help! We’ve set up a **new WhatsApp group** (admins only post) to make sure we can easily reach out for help and avoid bombarding you with endless messages. You’ll be added to a group that’s specific to the event you’re helping with. Click [**here**](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JU5zMsJQbML0jqgMmcMjk3) to join our Helpers Group. Thank you so much for your ongoing support. We couldn’t do it without you!   ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lvspta.com%2Fblog%2Fhappy-new-year](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lvspta.com%2Fblog%2Fhappy-new-year) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://www.lvspta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Half%20Term.png?width=2240&height=1260&name=Half%20Term.png) What a Half Term - and There's More to Come!](https://www.lvspta.com/blog/what-a-half-term-and-theres-more-to-come) ### [![](https://www.lvspta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IDL.png?width=2240&height=1260&name=IDL.png) Summer Vibes Are Coming! 🌞](https://www.lvspta.com/blog/summer-vibes-are-coming) [![](https://www.lvspta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%2020242025%20(2).png?width=100&height=100&name=Logo%2020242025%20(2).png)](https://www.lvspta.com/) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company --- Privacy Policy · Legal · © 2026.
