TheGirlsMum Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just had to tell you all our good news. The school entered a competition in the local paper to come up with a fund raising project and we ok go on then I came up with the idea of the children keeping chickens in a cube in the school environmental area and they could sell the eggs within school. They would be able to plan the whole project including costing and marketing etc. Well guess what? Today we found out they have won....not bad for only 47 children and whats more they have won £4000 so a full set up is possible including secure feed store So the next move is to order the cube, wonder if I'll be allowed to choose the colour? No doubt I'll be out voted of the purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGirlsMum Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 The chickens are already waiting in my garden to go in the cube as they hatched out in the classroom earlier in the year. They are going to work out a rota for looking after them on a family basis, but I've a rough idea who will have to make sure it's all done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well done! That is such a good idea. I'll bet the children loved watching the chicks hatch. Good luck. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
