Red Nose Day

P1L had lots of fun making funny faces for Red Nose Day!  After making our funny faces and looking at some famous funny faces on the ‘Red Nose Day’ website, we drew one for a competition.  We’re looing forward to Miss Henderson sharing some of the winning funny faces next week!

P1l ‘Day for Change’

P1l took part in ‘A Day for Change’ today.

We listened to a story about a girl called Cherlyn, who lives in Rawis, a small town in the Philippines. Cherlyn and her family had to leave their home and go to a shelter because there a typhoon, a very serious storm.

We discussed what we would take with us, if we had to leave to go to a safe place (evacuation centre). Here are a few answers:

“A first aid kit” (Zara).

“Water, a teddy bear to cuddle in to and a phone” (Rory).

“My teddy called Flopsy” (Owen).

We had some super suggestions, well done to P1.

We then drew pictures of the things we would take to the safe place.

UNICEF helped during this emergency by providing safe, clean drinking water, food and medicine. UNICEF helped children find their parents and vaccinated children against disease. UNICEF has helped more than 925,000 people like Cherlyn in the Philippines. They work hard to help children keep safe from danger in an emergency.
