Dear Parents/Carers
Happy Friday!
This week, our Youth Sport Board took part in their first Zoom meeting with Mr Bish from Deanes. He explained that they would be taking part in some training sessions at Deanes next term and how their input will be valuable to the School Sports Partnership.
The children are extremely enthusiastic to work alongside Mr Bish and children from other local schools to develop the events provided through the SSP.
A message from Mrs Yuille about Christmas Jumper Day!
All the children looked amazing in their Christmas Jumpers today and we have raised money that will continue to sponsor Thoko and her local community in Malawi. We thought you might like to hear what Thoko wrote in her most recent letter to us. She writes:
Dear Down Hall
I am learning in Standard 4. I go to school everyday. I always work hard in classes and my end of term results are always good. When I finish school I want to be a nurse. Very soon we will start harvesting crops. Greetings to you!
Thoko
A local representative who oversees Action Aid's money also adds:
Dear Supporter
One of the problems in Primary Schools is the shortage of desks. As a way of addressing the issue, we bought desks and shared them with two Primary Schools in the Kalowe Zone. This initiative has helped increase the number of children who have access to sit at a desk. Thank you for your support which has really promoted education in the area.
It's amazing to think that from such a small act on our behalf, we can make such a big difference for the young people who live such a long way away but share our right to an education. Thank you all so much!
Don't forget......
Next week, we have our Christmas dinner on Wednesday and Christmas Bazaar on Friday. Lots going on as Christmas fast approaches.
No homework this week as the children have been taking part in assessments.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
