In March 2022 I took part in 10K run to raise funds for
UNICEF UK supporting Ukrainian children. To continue fundraising for this cause (and also for all children in need) I made a plea to take part in one organised 10K run per month until at least the end of 2022.

Refugee Week
Mon 04 Jul 2022Refugee Week 2022 was a great success. The week began with assemblies linked to migration and ended with
a non-uniform day to raise money for Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre and Medical Aid
Ukraine. During the week the children looked at the story book 'The Suitcase' to explore what it
might be like to have to leave their home and arrive somewhere
new. They analysed statistics linked to refugee and asylum seekers and wrote reverse poems inspired by refugee experiences. On Thursday, Roya from CRMC visited school to talk about her story and the important work that the centre does to support people seeking sanctuary in Coventry. All children have made a 'Hexagon of Hope' that will form part of a collaborative piece of art to welcome people to our school. A big thank you to the children in Y5 and Y6 that made items to sell during the week- together they raised an amazing £168.28! -
