Making a difference in the Community
Thank you to everyone who donated food items. The School Parliament helped box them all up ready to pass on to the McCarthy-Dixon Foundation.
At the end of January, the School Parliament were delighted to attend the 'Stay Well Wednesdays' club run by The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation. Everyone was so welcoming and the children enjoyed every moment! They participated in a keep fit activity enjoying some light exercise alongside the members. Then it was time for School Parliament to introduce the challenge of the day - Who could build the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows? Both children and adults enjoyed this and it was lovely to see School Parliament chatting and helping members of our community. Fun was had by all!
