Thank You!

We would just like to say thank you to everyone who brought in toys, books and other goods for our Micro Tyco recycle boot sale.. We are all really grateful for your kindness and generosity. It is deeply appreciated. Everything you have brought in has been used in our sale to raise money. That money will then go to the worlds poorest people to help them get a loan and get out of poverty. Everyone was so excited about the sale. The school, Micro Tyco and the worlds poorest people are all so thankful. In total today we raised £138.50! We have another two weeks of our Micro Tyco challenge so please keep watching this space for more information about what is happening next and the progress we continue to make..

Nursery Burns Supper

The hall at Stane Primary was filled with Scottish music, food, singing and dancing this morning as our nursery children entertained their parents/carers and grandparents at our Burns Supper!

The children sang some of their favourite Scottish songs and performed a dance they had created to the song ‘Donald Where’s Yur Troosers!’ while our audience enjoyed a taster plate of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties.

We were very lucky to be joined by a pupil from Calderhead High School, who played the bagpipes for us along with his Music Teacher who played the fiddle.  They helped us to create a fantastic atmosphere during the event.

Two of our P7 pupils led the event, confidently sharing the ‘Selkirk Grace’ and an ‘Address to the Haggis.’  Some of our amazing P6/7 pupils were also on hand to help serve the food and it was lovely to hear feedback from our guests about how well mannered they all were.

The children performed with such confidence, and had so much fun!  We are very proud of them all!

Starting Up Micro-Tyco

OUR PROJECT

 In school, P5/6 & 6/7 have started a new topic/project on a charity called Micro-Tyco.

Micro-Tyco is a competition that runs every February and November. Micro-Tyco gives a donation of £1 and the school has to raise as much money as possible from that £1. To raise this money, our school is taking part by selling goods made of re-usable waste, which ties in with our Eco topic…

The money made by this project is then invested by a charity called WildHearts who help to give loans to poor entrepreneurs in developing countries by means of a business loan.

In class we have set up our own company

We all have jobs.

  • There are 2 bloggers who write the posts all the time updating you on the progress of the project.
  • There is 1 manager and 2 assistant managers who will oversee the project.
  • There are 2 photographers who will keep a visual record.
  • There are 3 accountants who will keep track of all the money coming in and out…
  • There is a resource manager, who is responsible for ensuring that we have enough supplies.
  • The advertising manager is in charge of the team promoting the goods.
  • There is a sales and marketing team.
  • The quality control team ensure that the goods are of good quality and suitable to be sold.
  • Finally there is the production team – some would say the most important because without them we would have no goods to sell.

We have been busy in class making products that we can sell to the community.

Some people have been making book marks and lots of other creative crafts.
