The donations will be delivered to St Paul's Hounslow West so those who are struggling can avail of a food parcel on Wednesday mornings.
4A Bring & Buy Sale
4A’s ‘Bring and Buy’ Sale was an amazing success. We raised £257.47! 4A would like to thank all the people who remembered to bring their pocket money to buy something on the day. We chose to donate the money we raised to the - Make a Wish Foundation. We liked how it helps children who are very sick have their wish come true. The 4A ‘Bring and Buy’ meant that our class had to bring in items that were in good condition that we could sell and the other classes bought them, all the money will go to the charity. The things we were selling were: cupcakes, cakes, cookies, books, toys, clothes and accessories. Thank You, from Victoria!
4B 'Guess the Weight of the Teddy'
On Friday 3rd May, 4B held their fundraising event ‘Guess the Weight of the Teddy’ for the charity ‘Make a Wish’. ‘Make a Wish’ is a charity for children who have shortened lives through illness. We set everything up and started the event on the playground, however it started raining so we had to run inside the hall! Despite the weather, we were able to raise £73.11. Nobody guessed the actual weight of the teddy however; the 2 who came the closest were Bryan in 3A and Amiyha in Dolphins. We also had many runners up. Thank you to all the children and parents who attended the event. Make a Wish Charity will be very happy to receive the money soon! From Akim and Marcel 4B
Mary's Meals Backpack Project
Advent Project in aid of GOSH
This Advent we decided to support families who celebrate Christmas at Great Ormond Street Hospital. For some of our families GOSH holds a special place in their heart and as a school we wanted to help bring a smile to a child and their family on Christmas morning.
We would to send a resounding thank you to the many parents and children who embraced this project in the manner that it deserves. Our classes and offices were full with your generous donations. I am absolutely sure that each child who receives a gift at Christmas through GOSH will share the same emotions of awe and wonder as your own children, the only difference is the place where the gift will be received and opened.
Thank you for normalising the children's experience of Christmas in hospital.
