North Leigh C of E Primary School
Dandelion Sale
Military children at North Leigh C of E Primary School in Witney have raised £400 by selling their own dandelion themed artwork and cakes.
The group organised a special assembly to share their unique experiences of growing up as a service child with other friends in school. They then made special dandelion paintings and themed cakes to represent the fact that the dandelion is the official flower of the military child – blooming wherever the wind carries it and thriving in a broad range of climates.
They chose to organise the fundraiser ahead of Armed Forces Day on 24 June because they regularly use resources from the Little Troopers at School programme.
