St Columba’s Primary School in Oban were delighted to raise a total of £1,393 from their recent market day.
The Primary 5, 6 and 7 classes had been working with Virgin Money on their ‘Make £5 Grow’ project which aims to encourage children to embrace their entrepreneurial skills and make them happier about money, which can help support them succeed later in life.
With set targets to learn, create, and grow, the school held a Dragons Den session for each class. These involved the children creating their teams and ideas that they presented to some volunteer dragons from local businesses.
The teams listened to the feedback and evolved their business ideas to help make them as successful as possible. The school then held an Enterprise Market Day for the teams to sell their products.
The stalls ranged from Amazing Animal Statues, Dare to Guess, Cool Canvases, Hair Stylists, Shinty Shots, Scribble Sports, Beads and beyond, The Clan Girls, Paper Ninjas, Crazzy Colours, Marvellous Mini Games, Sweet Nails, Magical Mystery Bag, Chocolate Marshmallows and Magic Milkshakes. The Mini Vinnie group also had a stall to raise money for their charitable community initiatives.
Pupils from Primary 5, 6 and 7 say they were thankful for the amount of support leading up to the event and delighted with the amount of customers that attended the event.
