Hackleton School -~Water Aid Update

By -



As part of their RE work, Class 4 have been fundraising for Water Aid.  The water and sanitation crisis is the second biggest killer of children under five worldwide and Water Aid delivers taps and toilets, campaigns for change and builds the skills of local people.  The children raised an amazing £1,161.33.   

Emma and Peter from Class 4 explain how they did it:

'We did a coin collection involving the whole school. They each had a watering can to put their coins in. In a week’s time they were collected and counted.  Also, we did a sponsored silence for 1 hour. We got friends and families to sponsor us.' Emma.

'First we put an outline of a watering can with sellotape in the middle of the class. Then we got all the coins and pennies together and put them in the middle of the outlines.  After that, all of us sat in our seats and we started watching a film for our Literacy (in silence) and half way through we did a writing task.  A while after, we saw a bit more of the film and then the hour of silence was over. And while I was doing it I was so tempted to talk but I managed it.' Peter.

  Below follows a short introductory message from our newly appointed priest Rev. Julie Scott. Hello, it is with great joy that I can introduce myself as your new Vicar. My name is Revd Julie Scott and with my husband Adrian we are looking forward to joining and serving the community. We currently live in Bridgwater Somerset where I have served part of my curacy. The southwest has been home for a number of years, however I recognised that I wanted to discover and minister to a new area, as well as a being a little closer to our family. We have one daughter and two grandchildren who live in Lincolnshire, and I am blessed to have my father who still lives in Surrey where I grew up. Adrian and I are both passionate about the environment and will always look for the ways we can protect and enjoy the world around us. One of the ways I do this is through the arts, I have a love of painting and photography, as well as having a background in design which I bring to all aspects of my life. Adri
