Last week was Children in Need week, so we decided to host a coffee morning for the isle on Friday 17th<\/sup> November.\u00a0 We decided to raise money for two charities:\u00a0 Children in Need<\/strong> and UNICEF<\/strong>.\u00a0 We are learning about children\u2019s rights this year. Through no fault of their own, children\u2019s rights are not always met around the world.\u00a0 This might be because of war, natural disasters or poverty.\u00a0 The situation in Gaza\/Israel is devastating. UNICEF is one of many charities helping to bring aid to people who need food, water and medical supplies. We are proud that we can do something to help.<\/p>\n

For the coffee morning, we designed games such as: guess how many sweets in the jar, guess Pudsey\u2019s birthday, an IRN BRU coin slide and an amazing raffle! Lots of people in the community gave us raffle items. Staff and parents made mouth-watering cakes and we made some tasty shortbread in school. The day before the coffee morning, we walked to the shop to buy all the ingredients plus some prizes, some raffle items and sweets for the jar. Later on, we made up the mixture and baked it in the oven. It was delicious!<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, we set up the hall with UNICEF posters and pictures of Pudsey, along with all the tables and chairs needed.\u00a0 We got to wear our fantastic Children in Need T-shirts which were special because\u2026 we got to colour them in which was fun, although we don\u2019t know what will happen to them when we wash them!<\/p>\n

As it was Triona\u2019s birthday, the whole hall sang happy birthday to her and she had a little cake with a candle to blow out.\u00a0 She turned 79.<\/p>\n

Ander won the coin slide (again as he won this at the Harvest festival one).\u00a0 Neil got the closest answer for the number of sweets in a jar (96 when there were 94). Andrew won \u2018guess Pudsey\u2019s birthday\u2019 and got a box of chocolates. Many people won raffle prizes.\u00a0 Eileen and Amy got huge boxes of school veg.\u00a0 Luca won the Fair Isle knitted hat.\u00a0 Gillian won the Shetland tea towel (that she put in!) and Dave and Elizabeth seemed to have very good luck!\u00a0 Some BT workmen came along too which was nice of them and one of the workmen won the Terry\u2019s Mint Chocolate Orange \u2013 he kindly gave it to the school kids to share between them\u2026 yum yum!<\/p>\n

People bought many raffle tickets and gave generous donations on the door. Thank you to Ross Thomson for his amazing donation from afar.\u00a0 In the end, we raised an incredible \u00a3600 that we split between the charities!\u00a0 What an amazing community!<\/p>\n
