School of the Week

Roighnich a’ chlann là-spòrsail a chuir air bhonn air feasgar Didòmhnaich an ceathramh là den t-Ogmhìos airson a’ choimhearsnachd gu lèir. Bha seo air a’ dhèanamh poblach air feadh an eilean tro postairean na cloinne fhèin. ‘Se iomairt gun mòran buannachd-airgid a bha fa-near dhuinn le gach cuir seachad a’ cosg deich sgillinn, seach an tì agus an uachdar-reoite.

‘Se là àlainn a bh’ann agus bha mòran an làthair air a son. Chòrd na cuir seachadan, mar eisimpleir Rèisean air Ball-fànais, Cluich na Cairtean Ceart, Hoopla, a’ dèanamh bràistean agus cuideachd stàllaichean leabhraichean, bhidiothan agus botail ris a h-uile duine.

Bha a’ chlann airson an airgead a thoirt do SCIAF as dèidh dhaibh postairean fhaicinn air ballachan na sgoile: “ Ceannaichidh £63 nòt cathair-cuibhle”, “ Nì £102 sgoil freagarrach airson gach neach” agus “An fhìor-thiodhlaic – gobhar airson teaghlach”. Dheàrrs a’ ghrian agus rol an t-airgead a-steach!

The school decided to run a Fun Day on the afternoon of Sunday 4th of June for the whole community. It was publicised throughout the island using posters designed by the children. The enterprise was intended to be low profit-making and all activities priced at 10p each apart from teas and ice-cream. The day was beautiful, the event well attended. Activities enjoyed were space-hopper races, tug-of-war, fortune-telling, play your cards right, hoop-la, badge-making along with a books & video stall and a bottle stall. The children wanted to give the money to SCIAF in response to posters on display in the school -

• £63 buys a wheelchair
• £102 to make a school suitable for all
• and the Real Gift initiative to buy a goat for a family.

The sun shone and the money rolled in...
