As part of next week’s Financial Education Week and to raise money for our school funds, Primary 6 have taken responsibility for our school 10p trail which will begin next week and run for two weeks leading up to the Christmas Fayre on Saturday 16th November.

Our challenge is to create a trail of 10p pieces from Miss Boyd’s Office around the inside of our building and for the children to estimate how many 10p coins it will take to go right around and back to the start.Pupils can bring in any spare 10p coins from Monday and groups of pupils in P6 will help the pupils to lay their coins out. Unfortunately we will not to be able to give any change.  Coins will be secured down so that we don’t lose any!

At the end of next week pupils can begin estimating their amounts for  a 10p charge.  Primary 6 will then count up all the coins at the end of the two week challenge and there will be a small prize awarded to the person who guesses the closest to the amount collected. Hopefully we will complete the challenge to get back to the start and they will have lots of 10p pieces to count.
