On Friday 15th November Kirkcowan School raised £267 for Children in Need through P4-7 organising various activities throughout the week.
On Monday the 11th of November Karen and Jemma launched the fundraising campaign by presenting a power point to the rest of the school on the importance of raising lots of money for disadvantaged children all over the UK.
The fundraising activities/events planned were:
- Donation boxes were sent home on Monday 11th November (one per family) to be filled with any loose change.
- Pupils could enter Pudsey’s fun run. They guessed where he was off to (which town/city in the UK) for a donation of £1. The winning answer was ‘Stoke’; well done Connor and Ruby for guessing correctly!
- For nursery to P4 pupils there was a dress up Pudsey art competition (completed in school time) which was 20p to enter. Prizes were awarded to Hallie, Emily, Hawkai and Lennon for the best Pudsey outfits.
- On Friday afternoon there were activities for the whole school to take part in FOR FREE! These included: spotty cake decorating, Pudsey bingo and a disco. There was also an opportunity to pin the patch on Pudsey at a cost of 20p per go.
- Pupils were invited to dress like a superhero, in spots or a combination of both for the whole day on Friday the 15th November and the finale to the whole week was a fashion show hosted by Grace and Libby. Entry was £1 and the best outfits from nursery, p1-4 and p4-7 received prizes.
- Congratulations to Evie, Karen, Charley, Sophie, Jayden and Kayana for your wonderful costumes and to all pupils for making an effort on the day.
