Micro-Tyco – the final amount.

It has unfortunately come to the end of Micro-Tyco.

Primary 5/6 & 6/7 have truly enjoyed this lovely project.

We have made the staggering amount of…

£336.32!!!

Everybody has helped us. Thank you for all of your support!

All of this money goes to childrens’ charities through micro-tyco!

In memorial of this months challenge, here are some pictures of the pupils working hard and their creations:

Eco Week Assembly

On Friday the 26^th of February 2016, P5/6 & 6/7 are going to hold a class assembly at 9.30am.

Parents and Carers are welcome to come along and watch the show.

The pupils in P5/6 & 6/7 have been working very hard.

P5/6 & 6/7 have been participating in Micro-Tyco.

We would like to thank you for the support at our jumble sale.

We have made a lot of money which makes a big difference.

During this week we aim to make more!

One lunchtime we sold paper aeroplanes. It was really successful! We are going to sell them again one lunchtime this week. They are only 30p!

We are organising another Recycled Boot Sale after our assembly so be sure to come and have a look!

We still have amazing goods and books left for you to buy!

Remember, world book day is just around the corner!

As a bonus, we are holding a guess the teddy bear’s name competition. Only one pupil will win. It is a raffle and you have to try and guess the teddy bear’s name.

It’s only 50p a guess! The winner gets a wonderful teddy and an Easter Egg!

All money goes to charity! So while you have fun you are also helping others in need!

We will also announce the winner at assembly.

This week each pupil is being given the opportunity to design an Eco related poster.

There will be three winners – One for p1/2 and P2

One for p3 and p4/5

One for p5/6 and p6/7

We look forward to seeing all of you at our sales!

Please come along, relax and enjoy our assembly!

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..

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.
