This morning the whole school built dens in the school grounds in support of Save the Children's Build-a-Den Day, an event that our School Council had asked us to support. The children worked in small groups and started by designing their den, making a list of all the materials they thought they would need and how much this would cost. Next they purchased their materials from the stalls in the school hall. After a lot of hard work, the dens were ready and the children were able to visit each others dens, paying 10p for each den. All the money raised will be sent to Save the Children. Many thanks for all the donations of cardboard boxes and other materials!
Update: We were very pleased to raise the sum of £78.69 for the charity.
On Friday evening after Sports Day we held our Summer Fayre. A big thank you to the Friends for organising it and to all the parents who donated tombola prizes, bought raffle tickets and came along to support us. The rain held off long enough for everyone to enjoy a variety of stalls and games as well as feasting on chilli and ice cream!
We are very happy to report that approx. £700 was raised at this event.
We are very proud of all the effort and hard work that went into our
entry for the Carnival this year; a big thank you to the Friends for organising our participation in this event; All the children and adults who took part were really pleased to win first place in the walking float category!
