It’s back and it’s as amazing as ever! 

What a joy to welcome back our school fundraiser – The Kirkcolm Primary Christmas Coffee Morning. It has been 3 years since we have been able to host this event and finally we can fully open our doors back up to the wider community. What a roaring success it was too! 

There was amazing baking donated by the wonderful parents of the school, a wide variety of sweet treats up for grabs to whoever stopped in, along with a hot drink. Not to mention all the wonderful baking at the side that was up for sale for anyone to take home. 

We had our STEM room kitted out with numerous craft stalls from local sellers all over the community – it was amazing to see how a small village can have so much to offer and what a fab opportunity to support businesses that simply can’t get any more local. 

A new addition this year also seen a Santa’s Grotto being raised in the Library, with some of our own former pupils playing the roles of Santa’s helper elves. A great opportunity to get a family photo with he little ones. 

The school pupils worked hard in the run up to this. Both classes completed their enterprise projects, devising the crafts they were going to sell, going through the hard work of making them in the lead up and finally they got step up and sell their items to try and raise school funds. 

Pupils learned Christmas songs to perform, as is tradition, at the Coffee Morning so we had a fab rendition of Christmas Tunes from both classes as well as a medley of Christmas songs. We are very grateful to Gillian Wilson for her accompaniment on the keyboard for this – it gave that extra touch of sparkle! 

Finally, the day came to a close with a Christmas Raffle! Pupils and parents had done an excellent job selling things in preparation for this and finding prize donations! 

Overall, it was a wholly successful day, everybody was smiling, enjoying the home baked treats and enjoying being altogether again in one space. Hat’s off to the parent council for bringing this event back with a bang! Their hard work is amazing and so worth it when it pays off so well – with well over £1110 being raised at this one event!
