This week the Ethos group have been designing posters to promote the Reindeer Run that will be doing to support the Springhill Hospice on Friday 8th December.
We have been working together to create to advertise our event and raise the most money possible and raise awareness.
Last week we focused on mental health and GIFT group decided they wanted to raise money for MIND. Paula from MIND held a special assembly and asked the children to discuss how they would like the £55.00 raised to be used.
GIFT group wanted to do another act of kindness, a special GIFT to our local community. They asked the whole school to save glass jars, created posters and asked Miss Robertson to put them through the dishwasher. Year 6 were tasked with decorating the jars and creating labels and GIFT group worked together to make 80 mini mince pies to go into the jars.
Our GIFT group met today to discuss which charity school will be supporting over Christmas, they have been tasked to create a prayer that they can say at each meeting and they are going to design a logo for the group.
GIFT group have been busy creating logo designs and as they are so wonderful they are going to try to combine different aspects from each into one. Look out for the final design. They have also been planning how they will support MIND charity and Middleton Lighthouse project.
In their first meeting they thought about their work and what they want to achieve
