Food Bank

In Reception class, the children have been reading the story The Invisible, which has helped them develop empathy for people living in poverty. As part of their learning, they visited the local food bank where they actively contributed by preparing food hampers. Each child made sure that every hamper contained two bags of fruit and two bags of vegetables. They also helped distribute toiletries and other essentials like peanut butter. During the week, discussions were held about the importance of people in the community who help others, fostering a sense of gratitude and community spirit. 

Additionally, the children shared their dreams for the future, discussing what they would like to be when they grow up, which highlighted their growing understanding of aspirations and the value of helping others. This activity not only supported their emotional development but also encouraged them to think about kindness and responsibility in their community.
