At school we have been working with Loco to design a new postage stamp as part of their drive to raise awareness of the Post Office opening within their local store on Salter’s Road, after planned closure of the current Post Office.
All the children in Years 1 – 4 were asked to design a stamp linked to their current topic work. As a thank you for taking part in this initiative, Loco has supplied all the children with a bag of goodies.
14 children were selected as runners up and each received a voucher to spend in store whilst two children were selected as overall winners. Basma and Jack both received high street vouchers and were able to officially open the Post Office by cutting the ribbon!
On top of all of this Loco have made a substantial donation of £250 to school. We are busying deciding how to use this money for all of the children.
We would like to say thank you to the Loco Store for involving us and for their generosity!
