As part of our Lenten intentions, Year 5 have been thinking about people who are less fortunate than themselves. We decided to make food parcels for the homeless to help members of our community who rely on a local homeless shelter for food and support.
The children prepared over 30 parcels packed with a sandwich that they made themselves, a piece of fruit, a packet of crisps and a bar of chocolate.
The parcels were collected by the lovely Mrs Atwal who has worked at All Souls for many years and who now works in our school nursery. Mrs Atwal kindly delivered the parcels, along with 30 bottles of water, the same day to the shelter, for them to pass on to the homeless people who use their services. The following day Mrs Atwal told us how appreciative the recipients were and how gratefully the parcels were received.
Well done Year 5 on your enthusiasm and empathy as you prepared the food and your continued interest in how we can help those around us to support and improve our local community!
