The children aim to make their first difference in the local community by asking elderly people to attend their Daffodil Tea event.  Members of Forres Rotary Club are supporting the event by escorting selected guest to and from the event.  Look out for the photos of the event which takes place on Thursday 28th March in the school hall.

Today UNA discussed previous citizenship activities and collated for Mr McLeman.  This allowed us to see what we still need to focus on and take forward this session.

We looked at the Global Goals website and discussed current news issues.  Pupils were particularly intrigued by the first vegan trainers being made in partnership with Stella McCartney.  Animals rights explored.

Pupils spoke to each business group regarding  campaigning locally for the safety of children in Alves.  This should link to the theme of the business groups they are in.  UNA
