A small group of Primary 5/6 children noticed an area of their playground which was beginning to look bit tired, and they wanted to do something to make it look a bit nicer.

The trellis arch in the playground just outside our P4 classroom was looking like it could be doing with a bit of a spruce up. So these girls got together to come up with a plan to redevelop the area. The team decided they wanted to raise funds to fix the broken panels of the trellis, paint it to make it more attractive and buy some plants to train to grow on it. To do this they decided to hold a raffle. The girls created a sensory pack for the winning ticket – they created their own sensory bottle, stress balls and mindfullness colouring book (all made by themselves), to award the winner.

Every day this week the girls have been selling tickets throughout the school and have raised a total of £32. The winning Ticket was drawn this morning and Karly (P4) was delighted with her Sensory pack.

The P5/6 pupils now plan to write to the janitor to ask for their help in fixing the panels before using their funds to buy paint, which they have asked the gardening leadership group to assist them with painting.

Well done girls, and thank you for going above and beyond to make Toronto fabulous!
