Today the children showed their support for children in need by coming to school dressed in spots or yellow. They also took part in a fun Pudsey colouring competition and discussed the reasons why they were raising money and the important work Children in Need does.

Children have the right to protection and freedom from war. To celebrate how lucky we are to live in a country where we are not affected by war, and to show our respect  for those who have lost their lives or thought for their freedom, we are decorating poppies and displaying them around school. 

 

This morning, our Rights Ambassadors presented all their hard work in our virtual assembly. They talked about all the things they have done to make positive changes in school and what they have done to respond to children’s views. They also announced their most recent project which has come from children’s requests in our Voice books- more playground equipment! We are therefore going to work with Earthwrights to build some amazing new equipment on the playground! Visit the website below to get an idea of what we are looking into. Also below are the achievements our Ambassadors have made over the last year, all based on pupil feedback and helping other children.

We have raised £307 for Send a Cow!

Plastic art- We want you to design in your classes a piece of art work. We will then collect and recycle plastic from around school so we can make the winning art piece.

Hitts food bank- We have been collecting food and sending it to our local food bank to help local children and their families during this difficult time.

Shoe swap- We held a shoe swap and donated all our old shoes to children in Africa who are suffering.

Thanks to your crafty activities we collected over £150 for children around the world by selling your crafts. The money you raised is helping children affected by illness, poverty and flooding.

Windows, Mirrors, Doors- we have introduced a reflection time/area in to all classrooms so that children can celebrate and reflect upon the ows and wows in their lives.

Our ambassador, Poppy, wanted to plant trees to help the environment! We wrote to New Wood Trees and they have responded, agreeing to send us 13 trees (one for each class) to plant and care for.

What a busy year it has been!
