An amazing £1954.66 raised for Children in Need

Children in Need was once again a highlight of the school calendar with the P7 classes pulling out all the stops to organise a week full of fun and great fundraising ideas. The week started at the Business Meeting with the Papdales Got Talent Competition winners being announced with all the proceeds going to Children in Need. All through the week raffle tickets for the big prize draw and Children in need wristbands were being sold at break times at reception by P7 pupils.
The week culminated on Friday with the P7 Children in Need Day Extravaganza. In line with this years theme everyone was invited to come to school dressed as a hero. This proved very popular with lots of superheros, big and small, roaming the school corridors. The main action of the day was focused on the P7 classrooms which were decked out in the hero theme and brimming with stalls offering everything from face painting and nail varnishing to bric a brac and home bakes. There were also a huge range of games and challenges for everyone to enjoy. All the classes, including pre-school, visited the extravaganza throughout the day to take part and spend their money contributing to a fantastic total of nearly £2000 raised.
Our special thanks must go to the school kitchen staff for providing all this years homebakes as well as parents and local businesses who contributed prizes, bric a brac and whatever else was asked of them. Without their help this would not have been possible.
Finally our P7 teachers and pupils deserve special praise for organising the whole fantastic event. With a Poster Competition still to complete the £2000 barrier may still be broken before the fundraising for this year finally comes to a close!
