Very busy twins

[Qwerty]

This week well tomorrow actually they have been asked to take cakes into school for a bake sale , in aid of Children in Need , Thursday is disco after school , and Friday they pay to go to school out of uniform and wear something yellow or to do with children in need could cost mummy s few pounds x 2 😬

Busy children indeed Qwerty I hope they have a lovely week!

My GD's school are allowing them to 'break the rules' this Friday. For every rule they break from the list of 10 they have to bring in 50p. Things such as wear your own top, wear nail varnish, wear crazy socks or tights, bring sweets instead of fruit for snack, stuff like that

They will be tired come Friday Qwerty but I bet they enjoy it 😀

They love doing things like that.

Qwerty - it sounds as though it's not only the twins who will be busy! At least by Saturday they should be ready for a lie in.

Gem - I hope they have a good system for collecting the 50 pences for breaking the rules! It sounds quite complicated.

I'm always in two minds about some of the fund-raising activities schools organise these days. It's good for children to realise there are people who need help and support, and to learn that it's good to give, but for some families it must be a real headache, especially if they have more than one child at the same school and having to shell out twice as much at one time.

What do others think?

All very busy, and fun things going on.
I've not heard what our kids are doing, but I guess there will be something.

I hope they enjoy their week Qwerty & all the others fundraising. I sponsored GS1 on a 3ml walk to raise money for a wheelchair accessible picnic table in their playground.

GS who started school went to his disco last week. Mummy said "he danced the night away". I'm in agreement with you Daisy. DD1 on a very tight budget.

I agree Daisy, I also think the collection made by parents for a gift to the teacher, children not being involved is embarrassing for some parents and as you say some parents have 2 to pay for. It isn't what you can afford it is a stated amount. Very wrong in my book.

Busy time indeed for the twins, but i bet they will love it.

[Qwerty]

I agree Daisy we trailed round looking for a t shirt to fit M they were £5 pounds each but when will they wear it again next year it will be too small, mum baked last night, entrance into the disco, and 50 p to go out of uniform x2

At DGCs primary school which had lots of family members in different years when something to do with charity collections ie "Children in Need" it became the norm for families to just send in a token amount from the family which covered all the children in all the years,but only if the family could afford to do so as the area was a very poor area in comparison to some areas.
I hope all the little ones enjoy their days of non uniform and dressing up and that they all raise a nice amount for CinN X

[grannyjules]

Our two have to take any pennies in and they are trying to cover a huge Pudsey Bear , which is on the floor in the hall.
This year they have got the Pudsey tee shirts, they don't usually. DD must be feeling flush. She's just got a job.

I have to say, I've lost track of what the GCs are doing this week. I know GD1 had a disco last night, but that is about all. I hadn't tied it in with CiN, so wondered why it was this week.
