The Great SJF Penny War (in Support of 'The Good Shepherd Appeal' 2020)

23rd Feb 2020

During Lent we will be collecting for one of our House charities, ‘The Good Shepherd Appeal’.

The popular SJF ‘Penny War’ will be making a return! We will therefore be collecting pennies and two-pennies. These will be placed in class collecting tins at the beginning of the school day.

Each penny is worth one point and each two-pence piece is worth two points.

Silver coins can be used to sabotage another class’ total. Any Silver coins deposited into another class tin will reduce the amount of points in that tin. So 5p will reduce a total by 5 points, 10p by 10 points, 50p by 50 points and so on.

The tins will be placed in the school hall each lunchtime so the children can add ‘sabotage’ silver coins to another class tin if they want to.

At the end of term the class tins will be opened and the 1p and 2p coins counted.

Deductions resulting from the sabotage silver coins will also be made. The class with the most points will receive ‘Golden Time’.

The Great SJF Penny War 2020 begins on Ash Wednesday!
