Little Angels

This week the children have been exploring safeguarding. Always an important week where children learn about keeping themselves safe, understanding their own bodies, with also a focus on road safety and safety in the kitchen. We have been using the book My Underpants Rule by Kate and Rod Power to look at emotions and how we feel within our bodies. The children love this story and as we look at it every term it has become a favourite week about protecting ourselves from harm and the world around us. A wonderful week developing independence, emotions and a voice that matters.

My name is Louis Denno and I used to go to Rackenford School. I have spent the last two years fundraising for my volunteering trip to Kenya with Tiverton High School.
I will be volunteering at Cherish School when I am in Kenya and we can take donations to give to the children and families in the area.
My challenge is to fill a whole suitcase with donations!
If you have any of the following items or would like to donate them to me to take with me to Kenya then I would be really grateful.
· Packs of chalk
· Colouring pencils and sharpeners
· Felt tips
· Exercise books
· Number/letter charts
· Story books

· Parachute
· Balls (with pump)

If you would like to donate any of the things on the list please can you leave them in the school office or drop to my house (Springhill House) by 3rd July.
