We are happy to tell everyone that we have been given some brilliant news! We have made it to the lifestyle final!

This means that because of our efforts this summer we have a 1/4 chance that we could be going to Florida!
We are very happy that the work that we have put into making this summers project a success has paid off! We'd like to thank everyone who has helped support our project and any donations that have helped!

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!!

Our Exhibition!

We had a great day last Sunday at our exhibition.  Lots of people came along to see our art and we were very happy at the amount of good comments that people left for us on our 'comment tree'!

We raised £250 for Special Smiles and we think that we promoted recycling really well by showing how it can be done creatively and in a fun way.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the people that supported us - making donations of materials for the art, donating tombola prizes, helping out on the day and to all the people who came to see our art!!

Art of Recycling Exhibition is Today!!

Our 'Art of Recycling' exhibition is being held today at Tickton Village Hall from 10:00am until 4:00pm.

Come along and see the art we have made from recycled materials - have a cup of tea and a bun, have a go on the Tombola, play on our CD air hockey game, guess the name of the giraffe, and learn all about making recycling fun!

Everyone is welcome and entry is only £1 for adults, 50p for children/conc, under 5s free, so please come along and help us raise lots of money for Special Smiles!

Thank you!
