‘Treemendous’ sale with ‘Treemendous’ customers at Moorfields Primary School

Miss Galloway’s Primary 7 class of young entrepreneurs were absolutely overwhelmed and are deeply grateful for the incredible support shown towards their ‘Wooden It Be Fabulous’ business venture. The enthusiasm, encouragement and support shown by customers and supporters meant the world to the pupils. Primary 7 would like to thank customers who purchased products, donated, spread the word or simply offered kind words of encouragement and support as this all played a crucial role in the success of the pupils’ business. Pupils realise that the support they received helped them not only to achieve their business goals but have also created lasting memories for them in their final year of primary school and pupils are truly fortunate to have such a supportive community. 

A special thank you to businesses who donated raffle items or gift cards/vouchers towards ‘Wooden It Be Fabulous’ including Ashley Ritchie who is Asda’s Community Champion, Lidl and Creative Gardens. The class are very grateful to Eugene Diamond from Diamond’s Newsagent who donated a jar of sweets for the class to have a ‘Guess the number of sweets in the jar’ activity. Thank you to Mrs Elliott of Faith, Hope and Love Woodcraft for providing a lasering service to the class and a huge thank you to Philip McLaughlin of N & P Tyres, who sponsored the lasering work done on wooden products. Thank you to Love Ballymena who displayed an advert and poster created by the pupils advertising their trade event and our thanks are also extended to Ballymena Guardian for publicising the trade event too. Our final thanks go to our two dedicated classroom assistants, Diane and Sandra, who have gone over and above their job role throughout the entire business venture. 

Primary 7 would like to thank everyone involved in their business from the bottom of their hearts for believing in them and for helping to make their business venture a resounding success. In the words of Primary 7, “We couldn’t have done it without you.” Primary 7 described it as a privilege serving members of the public and other pupils in school.

’Wooden It Be Fabulous’ raised a ‘treemendous’ £2205.41 in total and after deducting £200 of a start up loan (which was used to purchase raw materials and provide a float) Primary 7 are left with a ‘treemendous’ profit of £2005.41. They will be making a donation to a charity of their choice and the remainder of their money will be used to treat themselves to a well deserved end of year treat, helping them to create even more memories before leaving Primary 7 at Moorfields.
