Mrs Jones and the School Council organized a 'Race for Life' event at school yesterday. It was wonderful to see so many children and their parents taking part and supporting this amazing cancer charity. It was a really energetic start to the day, so well done to all who took part so enthusiastically.
On Wednesday morning, we held a Fairtrade Coffee Morning in the hall. The Ethos group had been busy baking coffee & ginger cookies, banana flapjacks, coffee choc chip muffins and chocolate cornflake cakes - all made with Fairtrade products - to ensure our guests were well fed. Mrs Eccles also supplied a delicious range of gluten free Fairtrade cakes, as did a number of our wonderful parents. The event was attended by lots of our parents and grandparents, who were happy to support the Ethos group's Fairtrade Campaign. A big thank you to Cath Greenless for bringing her Fairtrade Craft Stall to the school for the morning, to the Ethos group for organizing it, and to all the parents and families who were able to attend.
The whole school took part in our end of term Geography Quiz on Monday afternoon. This term the children have been studying the continent of South America and learning about its geographic features, such as the highest mountain and longest river, as well as identifying the countries within South America, the languages, religions, wildlife, flags, etc. Once again we organized the children into mixed age groups, led by our Year 6 pupils, and asked them to work as a team to answer a series of quite challenging questions. They all did really well and showed what a wide range of knowledge they had acquired over the term. Well done to Miss Grimes for organizing the entire event and the children for participating so enthusiastically and having learned so much!
On Monday our Ethos group delivered a really interesting assembly on Fairtrade to our children and parents. They explained how Fairtrade supports farmers worldwide and ensures they get a fair day's pay for all their hard work producing the foods we love. With the help of 'Banana Man' the children learned that if we buy products with a Fairtrade sticker, we can help farming communities across the world provide food, medicine and education for their families. What a worthwhile cause! Well done to all the children in the Ethos group for getting behind this worthwhile campaign and educating us all about Fairtrade.
