Children in Need 2019<\/p>\n

P1-3 were given the responsibility for this year\u2019s fundraising efforts.\u00a0 The main aim was to beat the previous total of \u00a3258 whilst at the same time, have lots of fun.\u00a0 After much brainstorming, the children voted on their favourite fundraising activities and set to work.<\/p>\n

The quiz proved to be an amazing success, raising a grand total of \u00a3375 alone!\u00a0 Wowsers!!\u00a0 The winning family, selling an astonishing \u00a376 worth of quizzes, were the Clark Family!\u00a0 The boy\u2019s prize for being top sellers is the chance to take charge of the school for an afternoon and become Head Teacher and Depute Head – wish us luck!\u00a0 The winner of the actual quiz itself was Mr Angus Brown! This lucky winner has won a Pudsey Wristband and a set of Pudsey Ears.<\/p>\n

We also had a successful Bring and Buy Sale.\u00a0 Not only did the parents get the chance to clear out old and unwanted toys before Christmas, the girls and boys got the chance to buy some new goodies!\u00a0 All remaining items will now be donated to the Cancer Research shop in town.<\/p>\n

The girls and boys also got to come into school for the day dressed in their pyjamas, and bring their favourite teddy and a pillow too.\u00a0 In the afternoon we snuggled down and enjoyed cookies (kindly donated by the McGregor family) and hot chocolate.\u00a0 We were also delighted to welcome Renita Boyle to school to entertain the team with a bedtime story.<\/p>\n

Other daftness on the day included face painting (thank you P7 girls!) and a marshmallow competition for the teachers\u2026who could fit the most in their mouth?? Some controversy there \u2013 was it Mrs McKnight? Or Mrs Baillie? In the end, Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Baillie and Mrs McKnight all rook one for the team and skipped to the shop and back (a forfeit decided by the P1-3 class!), whilst the boys and girls stood at the school fence and cheered\u00a0them on!<\/p>\n

Amazing effort from all the girls and boys and on the day we raised an incredible \u00a3568 so far \u2013 with the final total yet to be announced! Wow!\u00a0 Thank you to all the parents for supporting this too!\u00a0 What a team we have at Leswalt Primary!<\/p>\n
