This year we will continue to support Rochford Extended Services with our Harvest collection. Donations distributed by them to the children and families that need them most within our own local community. Our year 5 Eco-Councillors have contacted Extended Services to find out the type of things that are most needed:
- Toiletries and detergents, ie; shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet rolls, clothes washing powder/ liquid and dishwashing liquid.
- Non-perishable food items, ie; pasta, rice, spaghetti, boxed cereal, tinned foods (tomatoes, sweetcorn, tuna, baked beans etc), jars of cooking sauces, crisps and biscuits.
As a Gold Level Rights Respecting School, we do our best to advocate for Children’s Rights and for sustainability. Articles 24 and 27 state that:
“Every child has the right to the best possible health and a good standard of living”
By supporting our Harvest collection you are helping your child learn the importance of looking after those around us, so that children and families in our local community can achieve their rights. Extended Services will be attending our Harvest Assembly before the half term holiday in which we will be celebrating with a song, 'The Harvest Samba'.
Every item that you send will make a difference so many thanks in advance for your support in what we hope will be a fantastic collection for Extended Services to distribute.
Mrs Yuille and the Eco-Councillors
