Making gift boxes

Here is a video we made showing you how to make your own gift boxes from left over greetings cards.  Our gift boxes were very popular at the Real Aid Fayre back at the beginning of the summer, and also at our exhibition.  We filled them with gummy bears, and facts and jokes about recycling.

Making gift boxes is simple and fun so have a go at making some yourself!

Making paper hearts

Here is a video we made showing how you can make your own paper hearts from old books or magazines.  They look great if you make lots and string them up to make bunting.

Have a go and let us know how you got on!

Honeysuckle Farm!

On 31st August we went to Honeysuckle Farm to spend the day with Special Smiles.  It was a lovely sunny day and we were so pleased to see all the disabled children enjoying themselves!  All the children were given food to feed the animals and a token for an ice-cream, and we felt very proud that we had been able to fund the day.

We were able to present Special Smiles with a cheque for £500, which more than covered the cost of the trip.  The rest of the money will be used by them to buy Christmas presents to give to the children at their Christmas party.

We had a lovely time and we would like to thank Special Smiles for such a lovely day!

Our Sponsored Swim!

Last Sunday we did our sponsored swim.  We did 300 lengths (100 each) of the pool at Beverley Leisure Centre.  After about ten lengths each we were really tired but we kept going and it got easier for a while.  We were really pleased when we finished and really proud that we had raised £250 between us!

We now have £500 to give to Special Smiles for the children to have a great day out at Honeysuckle Farm.  This is more money than they need for the trip, but the rest of the money we raised will go towards Christmas presents for the children at their Christmas party, which we think is a lovely idea.

We would like to say a really big THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored us!!
