Y6 Community Uniform Stall
At the end of their final week, our Year Six children decided to arrange a community uniform stall. The children washed their school uniform and set up a stall whereby other parents could take uniform for their child to use next year. Recycling uniform in this way has not only helped our parents save some money, it is also good for the environment and allowed us to consider the danger of being a ‘throw away society.’
School Community Defibrillator
As a school community our children were moved by unfortunate events that have affected families in our school community and the media. Tragically some our families have lost adults and children who have suffered cardiac arrests and could have been saved by a defibrillator. We know that a defibrillator is the ONLY device that can help when someone has a cardiac arrest. With the effective and speedy delivery of treatment, survival can be raised to 70 percent, but this requires CPR (chest compressions) and also use of a defibrillator. The chance of survival decreases 10% per minute after a cardiac arrest, so the faster help can be given the better the outcome. The school with great support decided to raise money for a defibrillator to be housed at the entrance to the school so that it is ready available to the school community and the wider community. With a set target of £1200 needed, the children began to promote activities to raise funds. Some of our Year 5 children organised a cake sale, we had a ‘Name the Teddy Competition’, Red Heart Day and many donations from parents and friends of the school.
