On Friday this week, DiGGers helped out with an "Easter Egg Tombola" that the Parent Council had organised for us.
A fabulous range of Easter Eggs had been donated by parents and displayed in the foyer with a raffle tickets on each one. Pupils paid 50 pence a go and if the ticket they drew out of the bucket ended in a zero they won an egg.
Amazingly, in one lunchtime, it raised £175!! This money will go towards building seating and planters in the new garden that DiGGers and tutor group 1W2 will be creating. Along with our seed potato sales, this means we now have £235 of the £600 we aim to raise.
Mrs Cormack was one of the lucky winners!
We would like to thank the Parent Committee for organising this event, all the parents who donated eggs and Lynne, Alison and Heather who helped us on the day. We also have some eggs left, so hope to raffle them off next week as well!
Earlier in the week, despite the cold, we made some pots out of newspaper ready to start planting when the spring finally arrives. Connorhan and Miss Swallow also dug a flat area for a new compost bin to be started off as our others are now full.
Danielle and Rhiannon help carry the spare seed potatoes up to the shed for storing.
We also tidied the shed a little - a constant job!
