Fantastic effort from Cullivoe Primary School

Wow, what a day we have had at the Cullivoe Primary School!

Ruby and Poppy were in charge of taking note of how long we danced for each song and counted this up to give us a total of 77 minutes and 48 seconds danced through the course of the day!

We raised £45 from selling badges and £351 from people sponsoring us to do our Just Dance which brings our total to £396 which Miss Nicholson then rounded up to £400!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that sponsored us, all the pupils and staff for their enthusiasm when dancing and giving it their all and a big thank you to primary 7 who organised this all!

£400 will be on its way to Children In Need thanks to everyone at the Cullivoe Primary School!

Today we are raising money for Children In Need by doing a sponsored Just Dance. We have cleared the classroom and are ready to go when the whistle blows. (This is when we all have to stop what we are working on and go into the downstairs classroom and keep dancing until the second whistle blows, then we have to return back to our work)

Primary 7 have organsied everything. They have made a list of songs they want to dance to so Miss Nicholson has loaded them on the laptop so we just have to press play. They have also sorted everyone into groups so after music we will all have different stations to move around:

  • Beth’s group is going to be colouring in/wordsearch.
  • Jasmine is going to be reading stories about children in need
  • Tali is going to talk about where our money goes
  • Amanda is going to be doing a warm up

They have also ordered pudsey padges and are selling them for £1.

We will keep you posted on how the day is going and how much we raise!!

Children In Need 2016

For Children In Need this year we came to school in our pajamas and had a sponsored times table challenge. When Mrs Lawson blew the whistle everyone had to stop what they were doing and write down their chosen times table as many times as they could until the second whistle blew then we swapped over to mark each others work. Once we knew how many each person got right we collated this to get a total number and recorded them on a piece of paper under our class. This is what each class were doing:

  • P1 – addition sums
  • P2 – 2x table
  • P3 – 4x table
  • P4 – 6x table
  • P5 – 11x table
  • P6 – 5x table
  • P7 – 11x table
  • Staff – they did a mixture of the 2, 13 and 64x tables!

Primary 7 organised different activities for us to do. They put us into cooperative learning groups and told us we had 15 minutes at each station. There were 5 different stations that each primary 7 led: Emma led an information station learning about what Children In Need is and what they do with the money raised. James led a colour/design the best Pudsey competition. Dylan had Children In Need games on the laptops. Sabienne had a group completing a word search to do with Children in Need and Jessica led a dance group. Here are some photos of our day.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us for this challenge, along with this money and the £1 we all paid for wearing our pajamas and the sale of the key rings (they were £1) we raised a fantastic £350.65!!!

So again, thank you very much!!
