<p>Kilmory Primary School&nbsp;are looking to replace their well-loved and utterly exhausted wendy house.&nbsp; As the Parent Council we helped fund the first one many years ago, and our parents have maintained it and repaired it for as long as possible, but sadly it is just too tired to continue. This space is used for discovery and free-play time for students during their outdoor learning, as well as their breaks. It is&nbsp;also a space where peer reading, quiet reading and class story times are enjoyed by the students. It provides an alternative learning space and congregating point for the students to re-group during their outdoor learning sessions, where a wee bit of respite from the weather can be had!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Parties and events&nbsp;for the kids in the community. Looking for &pound;990 to help in aid of these parties and events for the kids in the local community.</p>
