It has been an extremely busy week here at Ecclesbourne!
Thank you to all the children who wore purple and donated £1 as part of our fundraiser for Croydon Hospital’s neonatal appeal. This is a cause our School Council chose to support and we are delighted to support a cause so close to our school. We know Croydon’s neonatal team has directly impacted a number of families in our school community and we are proud to be supporting their fundraiser so they can continue to enhance their neonatal care for tiny babies and those who love and care for them.
We were also lucky enough to have a history lesson all about the Suffragettes delivered by Mars class. The children delivered an excellent class assembly where they showcased their recent learning on the fight for women’s votes. Mars class encouraged all the children to use their voice to stand up for what is right. They also shared some more recent examples where women have defied the odds and used their voice for change including Malala Yousef, Mary Earps and Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock. A huge well done to Mars class – we all left the assembly feeling empowered!
Finally, today was World Kindness Day! The children have been thinking this week about kindness being a super-power. They have each written a leaf about being kind which has been added to the kindness tree in the entrance hall. Thank you to the PTFA for setting up the kindness tree and for providing a snack for each child at the end of the day to mark World Kindness Day!
