Tesco has teamed up with greenspace scotland to launch its Bags of Help initiative across Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.
St Patrick’s Primary School has been selected to receive a reward and it’s now up to the shoppers at Tesco to vote for the winners! We would like to improve our playground by adding play equipment for our children. Please vote for us to get the £12,000 grant!
Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags.
The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.
Today the children in primaries six and seven had a visit from Lynsey from St Andrew’s Hospice. She told us all about the Ambassador programme and how we could sign up to become ambassadors for the hospice. We are looking forward to carrying out lots of fundraising activities.
Room 13 won a competition to write a prayer to St Patrick. The prize was £50 to spend in any way they liked. The children all decided they would like to have a party with a delivery from Domino’s Pizza!
Everyone had lots of fun dancing and eating far too much pizza! Here are some pictures from our party.
the children in rooms 13 and 14 have been exploring the rights of the child and have been discussing needs and wants.
