Cumbria Flood Relief

After seeing the news of the flooding in Cumbria we decided to hold a raffle to help raise money for a school in Cumbria called Flinby Primary.

Year 6 pupils held an assembly to introduce the fundraiser and encouraged pupils and staff to bring in any unwanted Christmas gifts to use in the raffle.

We showed some of the prizes that were up for grabs. The school community did such a great job with providing wonderful gifts such as: a chocolate fondue set, Jacqueline Wilson books and even a train set!

 For four days after school, the Year 6 group sold tickets with enthusiasm.

The day of the raffle arrived, with parents, children and staff gathered in the hall. Everybody wanted to win the chocolate fondue set, it was the star prize. Year 4 pupils seemed to win the most prizes, however the star prize went to a delighted pupil from Reception.

The grand total our school raised was £150, an amazing amount!

The money raised will be going towards flood relief at Flimby Primary school. In addition, it will be helping families of children who attend Flimby Primary to help rebuild their lives after such devastating weather.
