The pupils and staff of Northborough Primary
School have been supporting the Mustard Seed Project from the start. They
donated toys, books and educational games which were sent out to the Mustard
Seed School in February. More recently year 5 baked cakes and donated the
proceeds of their sale to the project. The children have also sold and bought
African jewellery and the profit went to the project. They will be selling more
jewellery in the Autumn.
Currently the children are saving 1p and 2p
coins in sweet jars and collecting mobile phones. Some of the children have also
developed their own projects to raise money.
They have also been corresponding with the children from the Mustard Seed School
and sending them small gifts which has been a tremendous boost to morale in Kenya.
Peterborough Evening Telegraph and Stamford Mercury came to school on 15th July
2009 to photograph the children handing over their jars of 1p and 2p coins. The money
has since been counted and comes to £99.30. A very good term's work! Year 5
managed to collect £29.88 of that money and won the award for this term.
Year 5 also made cakes and sold them at the summer fayre for the Mustard Seed
Project. The proceeds from their sale came to £22.40 making a grand total of
£69.78 from Year 5 alone this year. The total from all the children's efforts
this term comes to an impressive £180.20
And finally, one child from year 5, Charlotte Causey, wrote to the Queen to ask
for her support. She received a personal reply from one of the Queen's Ladies in
Waiting. Unfortunately her request was unsuccessful, but well done Charlotte for
asking.
