Thank you to all pupils who either dressed as they hero or dressed down on Friday 13th November for Children in Need.

The Pupil Council organised a cake sale at break time along with a competition to guess Pudsey’s middle name.  The winner of the competition was Merryn in P2, who won a Pudsey teddy and keyring.  Her winning guess was ‘Cuddly’.

A total of £135.00 was raised for this worthwhile cause.  At Torphichen Primary School we strive to ensure that children’s rights are respected and through this fundraiser it highlighted Article 24: Every child has the right to the best possible health, Article 27: Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs and Article 36: Governments must protect children from all other forms of bad treatment.

Thank you again to all who supported the Pupil Council.

On Friday 25 September 2015, the Rights Respecting Committee will be running some fun activities to raise money for the Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity.  Alongside this event, the committee will be issuing pupils will an optional homework challenge with the chance of winning a prize.

The homework task is to draw, paint or create a model of a Roald Dahl book character and it must be in for Friday 25th September to be in with a chance of winning.

Look out for the homework challenge sheets in your child’s school bag and if you have any questions please get in contact!
