Community Week

This week is Community Engagement Week. This is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to ‘give back’ to their local community of Elswick and beyond. Each class has agreed on an activity to support a local service or charity. Early Years will be spreading their joy by delivering cakes to local shops and services. Year 1 and Year 2 are teaming up with Newcastle Eagles to raise money for their Hardship Fund, a charity that aims to engage the young people of Elswick to support them to live healthy lifestyles, have fun, make friends and develop transferable skills. Year 3 are collecting food for the West End foodbank. Their food parcels will be delivered to the centre to help local people in our area who are struggling to afford food this month. Year 4 are helping our local parishioners of St Michael’s by cleaning our beautiful church and Year 5 and 6 have set themselves a huge task! As two classes, they are attempting to run a marathon in one day. They are asking for a small sponsorship towards this with all money raised being split between The Westend Women and Girl’s Club and The Soup Kitchen for the homeless
