Gardening Afternoon

Many hands made light work for the gardening afternoon at Happyhansel. There were beds to dig over and plant, seedlings to prick out and re-pot and weeds to be pulled. Ably led by our green-fingered staff, Mrs Garrick and Mrs Fleck, an army of pupils and parent helpers got to work and achieved a huge amount in a short period of time. We look forward to eating some of the vegetables we have planted once they have grown and we hope to raise some money again through selling the bedding plants later in the term.
It was lovely to be able to welcome parents back to the school to work alongside their children.

Children in Need Day

This year we decided to make yellow and spots our theme for Children in Need Day. All the children wearing yellow fairly brightened up a dull day. Donations in the form of loose change were laid out in a Loose Change Trail. Each child placed any coins they had brought in onto the Trail (and then carefully washed their hands!)  Mrs Garrick collected them all up at the end and Norma counted it all up for us. We managed to make the grand total of £122.44. Well done everyone.

Shoeboxes

Happyhansel took part in this year’s Shoebox Appeal.  Thank you  to anyone who donated items. The Pupil Council members from each class are pictured with the boxes below.

A big thanks also needs to go to Amy, Sadie and their mum for helping Mrs Garrick assemble the boxes.
