Christmas Red Cross Parcels

Lesson: PSHE and citizenship

Class: Year 6 Year: 2022 - 2023

Our school challenge this year was to collect items and make Christmas parcels for refugees in our local community. 

Each class started to collect items from these four categories: Wash, Wear, Write and WOW! For example, wash;- shampoo, write:- pens and pencils, wear:-  hats and gloves and WOW:- a treat such as a chocolate bar.

We filled shoe boxes with all our gifts and then wrapped them in Christmas paper.

Two of Year 6 along with Mrs Wright and Mrs Garstang then took 56 parcels to the Red Cross Christmas get-together and handed out parcels to the refugee familes. There were people from all over the world including Afghanistan, Syria, The Philippines, Columbia, Ukraine and Mexico.
