SJF Penny War 2019

23rd Mar 2019

The Great SJF Penny War Fundraiser in Aid of ‘The Good Shepherd Appeal’

Please support our great 2019 SJF Penny War fundraising event in support the Bishop’s annual ‘Good Shepherd’ appeal which supports small charities that provide a vital service to vulnerable people across South Yorkshire, north Derbyshire and north Nottinghamshire.

In our ‘Penny War’ the children collect pennies and two-pennies for their class. These are placed in class collecting tins at the start of the day. A penny is worth one point and a two-pence coin is worth two points.

Silver coins can also be used by children to ‘sabotage’ another class’ total. Silver coins placed in another class’ tin will reduce its total. A 5p coin will reduce the total by 5 points; a 10p coin will reduce the total by 10 points; a pound coin will reduce it by 100 points; and a two-pound coin will reduce a class total by 200 points. Paper money can also be used to devastate another class’ total! The tins will be opened at the end of Holy Week and the money counted. Silver coins and notes will be deducted. The class managing to collect the most points after deductions will earn a ‘Golden afternoon’!
