Jennifer Skea, P3 teacher, said: “The pupils wanted to raised money for Children in Need.

“We organised face painting, bracelets and a guess the birthday competition.

“It was an amazing turnout from P3 and P4 parents.”

Cuppa for a Cause was followed by a whole school pyjama day the following week.

In total the school raised more than £1,200 for Children in Need this year.

“Well done everyone."
