Welcome to P7! We had a great time on 5th October when we turned the playground into a street party and busked all lunchtime to raise funds for SCIAF. SCIAF is a charity that helps those in need in places such as Africa, Asia and Latin America.<\/h3>\n

A few weeks ago we were visited by Gemma from SCIAF and she introduced to us our new project named ‘Talented Fundraisers’. We reflected on the parable of the talents and now we are using this as a context to learn:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. About the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:12-28) and how I can use my gifts and talents to serve God and others.<\/li>\n
  2. How to work in a team and recognise the importance of different job roles in an enterprise business.<\/li>\n
  3. About budgeting, profit and loss, purchasing and selling goods.<\/li>\n
  4. About the process of taking ideas through to an end product.<\/li>\n
  5. About my responsibility to respond to those in need around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a class we were\u00a0tasked with coming\u00a0up with an enterprising way to take the \u00a350 that Gemma and SCIAF gave us and turn it into much more. Once we thought of busking we couldn’t wait to get started. We promoted our busking through poster making, visiting classrooms and talking at assembly. We asked everyone in the school to bring their ‘change’ to make ‘change’.<\/h3>\n

    Using our entertaining talents we put on quite a show with instruments such as euphonium, guitar, cornet, saxophone, drums and clarinet filling the playground with music. We also had magicians, singers, mime artists, caricaturists and street footballers busking for change. It was a great day. From loose change we managed to raise \u00a3111.89, a fantastic sum of money. We are planning to use some of the \u00a350 from SCIAF to help fund our next enterprising project after the October break.<\/h3>\n

    Thanks to everyone for your generosity.<\/h3>\n
