08 June 2010 Penny Lane - Tuesday, 15th June
The children have been asked to start collecting 1p and 2p (and even 5p) coins for our next fundraising event. In the past, Penny Lane has proved very popular with the children.
The idea is that the children collect their coins in an empty margarine tub/or similar container and bring it into school on Tuesday, 15th June. During the morning they spread the coins over the shapes they have drawn on the playground. We hope the children have fun covering up as many of the shapes as possible and at the same time the school benefits from the proceeds. Your continued support is always appreciated. All monies collected will be donated to the PFA funds. Thank you. More...
