At the end of Term 4, the RE council met to discuss our school Global Neighbours links. We are building the evidence to gain a Global Neighbours Award.
They talked about our links with Starfish Malawi and started to think about ideas for a fundraising event to raise money for our link school, Mikute Primary, in Malawi.
Alongside discussing fundraising ideas for our Malawi link school. The RE council also decided to create pledges for World Water Day and World Food Day. The children have also created posters to remind their peers of the pledges.
World Water Day
World Water Day is an annual United Nations observance day held on 22 March that highlights the importance of fresh water. The day is used to advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
Pledges about how we will save water at school
Charlie and Beatrice – We will only fill water bottle up with what we need and wash them at home as part of washing up.
We will try to flush the toilet once.
Ewan – We will remember to turn the taps off when you are not using them in sinks and toilets.
World Food Day
World Food Day is an international day celebrated every year worldwide on 16 October to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945.
Pledges about how we will try to be healthy with eating, strive for sustainable living and aim for zero hunger
Beatrice – We will try to be healthy and encourage others to eat at least 1 piece of fruit.
Ewan – Remember to bring in fruit snacks.
Charlie – 3 bites of everything. Try everything, try to eat all your lunch and try not to waste food.
