On Friday 5th July, we are taking part in our very special Day of Action – Rights and Responsibilities. We have been learning all about how we can make the right choice. Our faith has called us to action and the Reception children have decided that they would like to collect food for those in need and send it to a local food bank.

Sadly, over 13 million people live below the poverty line in the UK and the need for foodbanks is increasing. Last year, well over a million emergency food packages were given out to adults and children in need.

The foodbank offers help to local people in crisis, who are often referred by specialist agencies such as social services, GP surgeries, schools, care centres and probation teams. We would be grateful if your child could bring in any of the following, to help with our collection for this worthwhile cause:

baby food, biscuits, cereals, dried pasta, instant coffee, long-life milk, long life fruit juice, microwaveable puddings, pasta sauces, rice, shower gel, snack bars, tea bags, tinned fruit, other tinned items...

Thank you parents. Please see the Reception staff Team if you want to ask any questions related to this.

Mrs. Quinn & Miss Reely
