Primary 2 requested a trip to Edinburgh Zoo as their end of year celebration, however after seeing the £98 price tag, we decided that we would need to do some fundraising to help make this happen.
Influenced by Taylor Swift’s upcoming concerts in Edinburgh, we created lots of plain and lettered friendship bracelets, practising our repeating pattern and fine motor skills.
We applied our knowledge of food hygiene when icing biscuits and our life cycle knowledge to sow, water and nurture the sunflower seedlings.
We used our literacy skills to create posters which were eye-catching and clear to advertise at Waverley Court – Edinburgh Council offices, and our tech and maths skills to set up the SumUp card machine shop, deciding prices and ‘bundle’ offers!
On the day, Primary 2 behaved in a professional, confident and responsible manner, encouraging people to come to their stall, handling money, answering questions and very impressively, managing the card machine! “Tap here please!”
Primary 2 raised ⭐£161 ⭐ exceeding their £98 target!!
We had amazing feedback from the staff at Waverley Court about the enthusiasm and behaviour of the pupils.
They were rewarded with an opportunity to ice their own biscuits, which they got to take home. They also made and took home a personalised friendship bracelet each!
