Mill Lane Community School pupils selling loom bracelets

Immy and her friend Mya, both in Year 4 at Mill Lane Community School in Chinnor, began selling the colourful bands to support their school’s Early Years Outdoor Learning programme.

They have now set themselves an extra challenge to create the longest loom band chain they can, hoping to raise even more funds through sponsorship.

Immy’s mother, Becki Lacey, said: “I am so proud of them and feel they need more supporters behind them.

“It’s such a lovely thing for them to be raising money for their school, wanting to give something back.”

Funds raised will go towards upgrading outdoor learning areas for younger pupils at Mill Lane School Early Years Outdoor Learning.

Outdoor play and exploration form a key part of the Early Years curriculum, helping children develop physical skills and confidence through play.

The project aims to fund safety surfacing and astroturf, weatherproof storage, and open wooden structures to encourage creativity and imaginative play.

Ms Lacey said every donation will help create a space that ‘spark curiosity and build confidence,’ supporting early years education.
