The children in Year 2 have chosen to support their local community by gardening in the Therapeutic Garden, set in the grounds of St Mary's Church. By cleaning, sweeping and planting bulbs and flowers, the children will help to create and maintain a space of peace and reflection for all members of our community to enjoy.
The children in Year 5 have chosen to promote recycling at St Mary's as their courageous advocacy project. They have ensured that each class have a recycling container and each week they collect all of the school's recycling and take it to the bins.
Christmas is a time for thinking about other people and St. Mary's were blessed in many ways to have others thinking of those less fortunate.
Through our long standing contact with Rev Charles and the charity Projectfivek the staff at a branch of Nandos delivered special bags filled with treats and gifts for some of our children. In addition the Dinnertimeclub a charity based in Forest Hill delivered Christmas grocery goodies for some of our families which had been donated by Sainsburys. We are very grateful for the generosity and kindness of all these individuals and organisations who have helped to make the lives of our families that little bit brighter and have really lived the values of love and responsibility to their local community. |
