On Thursday 1st July, we all took part in the campaign 1GOAL - Send My Friend to School. The campaign highlights the need to provide education for all children, no matter where they live in the world. In 2000, world leaders promised that by 2015 all primary children would be able to go to school. There are currently 72 million children who don't go to school. Half of these children live in Africa. We decided to remind them of that promise.
We wrote letters to send to the Prime Minister and we made a giant scarf with messages reminding him to keep his promises. In September, world leaders will meet at the UN to see hwo much progress they're making on this goal. We'll keep you posted.
We had fabulous time today when the 'Expo Chef' visited school. She taught us how to make healthy burgers, smoothies and vegetable casserole. Even the children who didn't like vegetables loved the casserole!! Look out for your recipe book coming your way!

8th and 9th of June were exciting days for Year 2. Textile designer Donna Cheshire came in to work with Year 2. She designed a banner based on a Gospel quote from Luke Chapter 18 "Let the children come to me". The children learnt to felt and print designs. Come in and take a look at our finished banner. It looks amazing if we don't say so ourselves!

To celebrate St Georges day all the children in the school made their own St Georges day biscuits!
St. George was an important Roman Soldier who was killed because he stood up to the Roman Emperor who was persecuting the Christian soldiers. In doing this he had to admit to the Roman Emperor that he himself was a Christian. This must have been a really diffucult thing to do as he would have known that the Emperor would kill him.
No matter what the Emperor offered to give him St George refused to say that he was not a Christian,so the Emperor had St George executed .
