The children of Craignish Primary School have been working with the Craignish Church Restoration Action Group (CCRAG), and members of the community. The main aims of this co-operative working are to:
- seek children’s and adult views about what should happen to the church building.
- assist in the raising of funds for the Church Restoration Fund
The children’s views will be incorporated into consultation across the whole community and the children are actively involved in the ongoing consultation process. A primary 6 pupil is a member of the Action Group and acts as the school’s representative.
On the 1st of November the children held their “2p Build Up Event “. This resulted from gathering 2p donations from parents, relatives and members of the community, with the aim to create an outline of the Church within the school grounds. Apart from having great fun the children had many opportunities to enhance their learning by making meaningful links across the curriculum. Some links were shared with parents and members of the local community on the day.
A great morning was had by all and we look forward to many more opportunities of working with our local community. Thom our school representative says “The collecting of the 2p helped us understand why we are doing this. Like helping the Church and all the things it needs done”. I can’t believe how quickly we made the 2p outline and it was fun”
