Ben Lomond’s Fundraising Day

 

Ben Lomond have been working incredibly hard over the last few weeks to plan their fundraising event to raise money for their P7 jumpers.

They have taken full responsibility to plan, decision make, calculate costs

and delegate tasks to ensure everything has been covered.

In their own words, here is what they have been up to:

Jude, Aiden & Matthew have been in charge or the games section out in the field. We created a timetable for each class, decided what games the children most wanted to play and picked spaces for them all. We also helped make signs and poster advertisements for the day.

Rosie and Amy have been in charge of Soake the p7  it when you throw a sponge  at a P7 it can be any of the P7s or some teachers. It’s £1 per throw. We had to do market research and source buckets and sponges from the parent council.

Tyler and Zack have been in charge of the Brick-a-Brack stall for the fundraiser. Some of the things that people have brought in are teddy bears, action figures and books. we are very happy with the amount of stuff that has been donated, thank you for bringing things in

Saskia and Jack are in charge of the baking and selling. We have been going around classes to ask what allergies students have. As well as finding the students favourite desserts. We will be following popular demand by selling chocolate cake, cookies, etc.  We have booked the stem room for 2 days prior to the date September 30th to bake. Our favourite part was the market research, where we asked students about their allergies. However, we still need to bake the food, I think we’ll have a good time doing so.

Georgie & Elle: We are in charge of the staff car wash. We needed to write loads of emails, checked where we could do it, decide on price, get some of the teachers registration plate, make a register and make signs. We both really enjoyed organising and planning the car wash.

Lacey, Sanaya & Lexi: We are doing an  arts and craft stall and it will have, Bookmarks, twinkle pictures and a white board task. this stall all for free so everyone can join in. so far we have done some market research, we made a sign and got a list of materials. Thank you for reading this.
I’m sure the day will go down brilliantly, it has been amazing to watch them take ownership of the project.
7 days to go!

  • Purchasing Leavers Hoodies
  • P7 celebration events; such as a meal out to celebrate the end of Primary

So far we have been very lucky that local businesses, including Linwater Caravan Park, Stirling Developments and Taylor Wimpey have also contributed to the Primary 7 fundraising.

On the day, the clans can take part in timetabled events which you can see in the poster below.

The suggested donations for some of the activities are:

  • Soak the P7’s: £1 per throw
  • Brick a Brack and home baking: 5p-£1 donation

If you would like to contribute, please remember to give your child some change on Friday 30th September – 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p,£1 (unfortunately no change can be given). Alternatively, you can make donations through iPay impact by clicking on funds and selecting P7 Fundraiser, this account will open on 22nd – 30th September.

 

On this day children can also dress down, (please remember no football tops or crop tops).

 

All children will have the opportunity to take part in the event, the suggestion of a donation is not compulsory. 

 

Also, on the day we are offering a champion car wash. We would appreciate it, if you could follow any cones and signs placed in the playground on 30th September.

 

There is still the opportunity to donate any brik a brack until 26th September.

Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Tyler (and the rest of Ben Lomond)

 

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II

Today, across our clans we took some time to reflect on this moment in history and celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth. Some clans made pictures of her, discussed what she did for the United Kingdom and beyond, wrote poems and reflected on her achievements.

Some of the older clans also watched a Newsround clip.
