The high school pupils and Mrs Shields from WCHS visited us this morning to explain a little more about living in poverty and what this means. This was a fantastic presentation for the children and it was great to see a few familiar faces.
Challenge Poverty Week
Challenge poverty week is running from 5th October to 11 th October. In our soft start mornings we are discussing a different theme each day. Today’s topic was social security and what it means. We watched a BBC news clip on housing and read the story called “A place to stay.” The story helped to inform our class discussion and we also decided on a school poster competition to illustrate a safe, warm home.

Today we were very lucky to have S6 from West Calder high visiting us today to explain challenge poverty week. They talked about lunches and uniforms and highlighted what actions we can take. This is a Scotland- wide campaign that challenges the stigma and discrimination often associated with poverty.
