P3/4 World Kidney Day Success!
Well done to P3/4 boys and girls who held a successful fundraising event in aid of World Kidney Day. Parents were treated to tea and cakes and Ferryhill pupils were able to buy a range of second hand books and toys. A grand sum of £700 was raised for this very worthwwhile cause. A special thanks for all the donations and support from parents and P7 pupils. Credit must go to the hard work by P3/4T who put in a lot of time and effort in preparing for and running the event as part of their enterprise education.
