Wow, what a busy day Portpatrick Primary had! The whole school was involved in a whirlwind of fun fundraising activities for Children In Need.
Class 2 were responsible citizens by organising and running the event. This was part of their S.T.A.R target award scheme. Every boy and girl participated fully in a fun packed day of activities.
There were lots of competitions and prizes. The spottiest children from each class were judged by our catering manager, Barbara (see photo for winners).
Myles Hine successfully guessed the Panda Bear’s name as Bamboo and went home with a giant sized bear donated by Katie and Liam MacDonald. It was so big he could hardly carry it! Lachlan Ross went ‘quackers’ by backing the winning duck in the Children In Need sweepstake race – Golden Duck. He was tickled pink when he won a huge George Pig donated by Jack Trafford.
The children had fun picking toys and books from our popular Bring and Buy sale. They enjoyed munching a cake or two as a playtime treat even more!
The activities carried on into the afternoon when we all got social by dancing the Pudsey Reel to the Teddy Bear’s picnic. We were ably instructed by Mrs R. Henry and her twinkle toes.
Class 1 used their writing skills to compose thank you letters to all of our wonderful families who had supported our day, helping to make it a success.
In total we raised the very impressive amount of £189.05. Everyone will agree the boys and girls have done a ‘spotacular’ job of helping disadvantaged children in the U.K.
