Your contribution makes a big difference!
There are many exciting projects and initiatives that CBS Primary would like to engage in, but, often, it is the school budget that decides. Here are some projects already paid for by people’s involvement in this fundraiser and some others we hope to do:
1. Greenhouse – Our school has several raised beds and, thanks to this fundraiser, a polytunnel. The learning process associated with gardening now starts earlier in the school year. Classes are able to visit the polytunnel throughout most of the school year.
2. Outdoor soft play – With this fundraiser, we have created an outdoor space at the back and side of the school building (bordering the River Fergus and Fergus Park) that allows year-round use of the space. The soft play area already has some outdoor play units such as a play kitchen and construction set. We hope to cover part of the space to create an outdoor classroom and we will be adding further outdoor activities to the space.
3. Laptops – We continue to improve the provision of laptops to our children in 4th-6th class. All children have their own device.
4. Outdoor playground and sensory path – Our school has a long and narrow area of land bordering Fergus Park. We hope to build a park in the style of the Lee’s Road forest playground area with a series of obstacles that a class can enjoy and challenge themselves with. We also wish to include a sensory barefoot path that children can walk along.
