Interfaith Week WB 31.01.22

​Mr C Holmes, in his new role as Religious Education subject lead, has organised Park Street’s Interfaith Week.  The children have had an amazing time celebrating diversity and acceptance during the week.
 
As part of the week, Teams have been challenged to plan a ‘Meaningful Act of Kindness’.  As such, we have seen children taking part in the following challenges, encouraging them to think with consideration and do good for others.  Examples of these are:
 
Team CB (Y3) – baked and decorated dragon cookies to give to Wombwell Care Home on Park Street, to put a smile on the faces of the residents and to celebrate the Chinese New Year!
 
Team CW (Reception) – raised money for the Tiny Hearts Appeal and Bluebell wood Hospice by selling salt dough heart decorations for Valentine’s Day. So far they have raised over £50 and still have hearts on sale for £1 or a donation in the school entrance. Team CW will be looking at other ways we can raise money for our chosen charities in the run up to Easter and also finding out about some of the good work that these charities do to help children.
 
Team CH (Year 1) – written special letters to Parkside Care Home to make the residents smile after nearly two years of isolation.
 
Team AF and LL (Year 6) – planned a bring a £1 contribution for healthy snack and run a mile fundraiser for Children’s Hospital, a cause close to all of Year 6 hearts for two massive reasons!  This is organised for spring 2!
 
I am sure you will join me in saying well done to the Teams for their innovative and incredibly thoughtful ideas of ways to be kind to others in need.  What amazing little citizens we have at Park Street!
