The monies have all been counted from the sponsored onesie walk and cake sale and we are extremely proud to announce that £730.55 was raised by the pupils in our school.
This money will be sent to UNICEF where they will use it to provide emergency shelters and classroom in a box materials for children living in areas affected by a natural disaster, war or conflict.
Many thanks to everyone who sponsored our pupils.
What a fantastic turn out of onesies and pj’s we had this morning for our sponsored walk. It was a brisk walk around the village square this morning however it was nice to wave to so many neighbours as we went. Thank you to our 3 parent helpers who put on their onesies to join us!
The sponsor money is still being counted and once we have added the money from the cake sale, we will inform you of our grand total raised for ‘Day for Change 2016’.
The entries for the family challenge are also fantastic and such a variety. It is going to be a hard test for the Rights Committee to find the house which survives the wind, water and shaking test! Testing will take place on Monday so that we have enough time to do it properly. If you haven’t brought in an entry and would like to be included, pleae hand in on Monday morning.

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.
