Well done to you all! You managed to raise £2326.42 for FARM-Africa!
On Tuesday 6th November, the P1s all the way up to the P7s raised this huge amount…with their wellies!! The whole school took part in all sorts of fun and educational activities to raise money for the charity. Some of the P4s decorated wellies and cut them out. They then stuck them onto a big piece of yellow paper to spell out the word Africa. Mr Barnes liked it so much he used in the Whole School Assembly!
Mr Barnes asked all the Pupil Councillors from P1-P7 to speak into the microphone at the Sports Centre to tell all the boys and girls what they’d done to help raise money for FARM-Africa in an enterprising way. As they told him what they’d done, Mrs Clark from the school office told us the running total after each year stage. Mr Barnes had predicted that we’d raise over £450. He used coloured welly boots pegged to a badminton net to show all the children how much we’d raised at each stage. By the time he’d gotten to P2 he’d realised that the target had been met already!!! WOW!! Have a look at the photo below to see the total money raised by the children and their families. 
And the best news is there is still some money being counted as I type! Well done for all your hard work, your kind sponsors and donators and all the teachers for their support. FARM-Africa will be over the moon. Even Mrs Ford brought her wellies! 
Due to adverse weather conditions, all East Lothian schools will remain closed to pupils on Thursday 7th Jan. Staff will report to school if possible. Please keep checking local radio and their websites for updates. A further announcement should be made regarding Friday’s opening later in the day on Thursday.
