Hatchell Wood Primary School

Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Tomlinson and Molly who came in to talk in assembly about their visit to the primary school that we support in Kenya.  They showed the children photographs that highlighted how the children live in Kenya and brough a sample of the porridge they eat for school dinners.  We have pictures and beads that the children made as a thank you for the money and books we have sent that are on display in school.

We have had a letter from Kiambiriria Primary School in Kenya thanking us for the money that you raised.  They have managed to purchase eight new tables for the classrooms.  File0001The letter is below.

We will be using coverit live to give you updates of the visit to Robinwood in March.  We will post photos and messages onto the site so you can see what is happening as it happens.  You will also be able to send comments and messages to the staff at Robinwood who will approve them and post them onto the site.

Members of local Doncaster Churches came in to talk to the children about the messages and the events behind the Easter story.

At the end of last half term, children in  the Zebras class had a cookery lesson. This followed on from learning about ‘Fair Trade’. They made a banana loaf, quite rubbery in texture but very delicious.

We spotted a Chinese Dragon walking round the school yesterday.  It came from a Reception class!

Thank you for your support at the Book Fair last week.  We have raised an incredible £556 to spend on books in school.

Thank you for all your help and support on our non uniform day on Friday.  You raised an amazing £261.56 which will be going  out to Kenya over half  term to buy furniture for the new classroom.
