Christmas Red Cross Parcels

Lesson: PSHE and citizenship

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.
