Dear Parent/Guardian
Our topics this term (in line with our school target of developing the children as ethically informed citizens) involve issues surrounding conservation. With Australia Day, approaching we thought that we would grab this opportunity, as a Rights Respecting School, to encourage every learner to become more aware of global issues and their role within the world. With the devastation and destruction that has been headline news, as a school we decided that we could do our bit in being a part of a global appeal. We are planning to begin various fund raising projects to support the bush fire appeal and animal relocation efforts.
All learners from across the school will be creating ‘coin art’ in the form of Australian animals and we encourage the children to bring in any spare coins they have to help populate our animals over the next few weeks. Our aim is to complete all six animals to kick start our fund raising campaign in school. In addition to this, each class in KS2 will then continue to organise and promote their own fund raising projects throughout the next few weeks as part of their rich task topics. All funds raised will be pooled together and donated to good causes in Australia.
Thank you for your support!
