We have had a very busy few weeks supporting our friends at the Zambezi Sunrise Trust. The children planned and delivered their own events to raise funds for the charity’s ongoing work for Linda Community School.
The Pioneers organised their own art exhibition. Families purchased the children’s art, as well as work with the young artists to create their own new pieces.
The Learners held a very successful movie night after school. They ate popcorn and enjoyed hot dogs, as they watched their chosen movie. Everything looked very cosy!
During an afternoon, the doors were opened for the Adventurers’ families, who came into school to play games, drink tea and Sunrise scones. It was great to see the event so well supported!
The Discoverers filled the school hall with games and activities for families to enjoy. Alongside the Leaders’ Teddy Tombola, the hall was jam packed, with families and children playing games and bidding for an exciting new teddy to take home.
All of the funds raised over the events were being gathered as part of the Zambezi Sunrise Trust’s ‘Big Give Week’. The funds raised are being used to support the building of a new computer block in Linda Community School. As we were able to donate during Big Give Week, the charity was able to get match funding. The children’s recent writing unit has focused on understanding all of this great work.
In total at Sleights, from our fundraising events, we raised £712. Once donated and match funded, we also were able to add gift aid.
But, that’s not all!
As a result of the brilliant continued kindness and generosity of our families, during our Christmas Nativity performances, we also gathered further donations on the Church collection plates. This raised a further £296.
In total, this means that our school’s collective efforts from the last two weeks raised a MASSIVE £1898!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
