P6 Goblin Car

As you have seen in the recent newsletter the P6’s are looking to raise funds for the Goblin car they have secured. We have bought them a Teddy bear & calendar so for £1 a go you can guess the Bears birthday. There is also a jar of Jellybelly beans so again for £1 you can guess the number of beans in the jar. All proceeds from this will go directly to the P6’s fund and the winners for both will be drawn on Wednesday the 20th of May. The P6 pupils will come round the classrooms over the next few weeks for those who’d like a try & also on a Monday morning in the dining room when the dinner tickets are on sale. There will also be a chance to have a shot during the cafe next Friday.
