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.
Well done to all pupils for helping to raise such a fantastic amount for a great cause.
