We took seven of our Key Stage 2 pupils to the Marks and Spencers store at Arnison Centre, Durham on Saturday 23rd September. The aim of the visit was to promote our project and attempt to get people to vote for us. The pupils were fantastic at spreading the word through handing out leaflets, having conversations with the public and using the iPads to get people to vote there and then.
Since returning to school from the visit we have received a lovely email from a lady we met on Saturday in store: ‘Just thought I would drop a line and say what a credit to your school the young boy is who was in Marks and Spencers canvassing for funding for your school. He was a pleasant, lovely boy and I am sure he will have won many votes for you school. Well done and good luck’.
All of the children who we took on the visit were absolutely fantastic and we are very proud of their behaviour and attitude towards this important task. Also, a massive thank you to the staff in store who looked after us brilliantly on the day.
And remember: PLEASE VOTE FOR US! Voting is open until Friday 20th October 2017.
