A HUGE THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Fayre on Tuesday 1st December.  It was well attended and the pupils loved getting to sell their Christmas gifts to you all.  They were even more excited to learn that the profit they made was £350.91!  So a HUGE thank you to all parents and friends of the school who came along to support us.

The winners of the various hampers were:

Lucy and Emma Dunsmore – Children’s Hamper

Yvonne Boyle – Adult Hamper

Sylvia Wood – Cake and Wine weight

Many Thanks from Blyswood Care Shoebox Appeal

The Global Citizenship Group and I, would like to thank you all for your support in gathering Christmas presents for boys and girls, men and women, in Eastern Europe. There were 33 boxes sent from our school which is a huge amount for such a small school. It is fantastic to have such a caring community who show such kindness, especially at this time of year. Many thanks once again009

Children in Need 2015

 

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.
