Children in Need Good morning everyone. Primary 7 pupils and staff would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of the people who helped us to raise the amazing total of £2333.16, a new record for Papdale! We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s contribution and without everyone coming and supporting us on the day. We had a brilliant day and have really enjoyed raising money for such a worthwhile cause. We hope you all enjoyed visiting our stalls. The closing date for the Pudsey colouring in competition is this Friday 24th November. Please give any entries to your teacher who can pass them on to Mr Hill. We will come around classes this week with any prizes won on the day, including any raffle prizes. Once again thank you all for your support!!
