Oxfam Donation

Once again I have been made immensely proud of my class. They have dug deep into their pockets again this year an together, in place of exchanging Christmas presents, we have raised an amazing £112 to spend at www.oxfamunwrapped.co.uk. The children decided to spend this money on the following:

School dinners for 300 children
Emergency Clothes
Fix a well
Health check-ups (x2)
100 bars of soap
Plant 25 trees
5 bags of seeds
Safe water for 12 people

Last year the children in Class 4 raised and impressive £80. They spent it on:

Teaching a teacher
School dinners for 200 children
Build a little bit of a classroom (x2)
Safe water for 25 people
Help provide health check-ups
5 bags of seeds

The year before that my class raised more than £60 and that too was spent on Oxfam Unlimited. Over the last 3 years their (and my) donations have gone to help some of the world's most disadvantaged people. Thank you to both of my Class 4s, Class 9 and all the parents and school adults that have donated with us at Christmas. You have made a difference.

Our Class Assembly

On the 16th of July we did an assembly on guide dogs. We introduced Mrs Weaver and her guide dogs Tex (Tracker's brother) and Maxie. Maxie has retied and is now Mrs Weaver's dog. All the year three classes have done cake sales to raise money for the guide dogs and in total we raised £341 so far. Class 1 still hve their cake sale to do tomorrow. Some people got the chance to stroke the dogs. To find out more, please look at our assembly PowerPoint above.

Time to Say Goodbye...

What a year we have had. When I look back at all the places we have been and all the work we have done, even since May when we started our blog, it makes me feel exhausted! (Or maybe that's because I need a holiday!)

Class 4 have come a very long way since the beginning of the year. Friendships have developed, confidences have grown, handwriting has got neater, answers have got clearer and my hair has got greyer! :o)

Our blog has been a great success this year and the children have worked exceptionally hard to make it so. We all hope that you have enjoyed reading our posts.

The children of class 4 have made me very proud this year. In addition to their hard work in class they:

• raised enough money at Christmas, in an agreement not to exchange gifts and cards with me, to buy school dinners for 200 children, build a little bit of a classroom, train a teacher, buy 5 bags of seeds, help provide health checks and provide safe drinking water for 25 people via the Oxfam Unwrapped website. Many of the children donated their tuck shop money everyday for a week. Their generosity was heart-warming.
• raised nearly £100 in our cake sale for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

And here we are at the end of a whirlwind year, leaving me just one thing to say: goodbye class 4, and good luck.
