ASPIRE Day: Second Hand September20Sep2024

8:40 am - 3:10 pm

Today, we will have our first ASPIRE Day of the year. We use ASPIRE Days to focus on issues and events which link closely to our core values. in 2024-25, all events will be linked to respecting our planet and developing sustainability. Our first focus is Second-Hand September on Friday 20th September. During an ASPIRE Day, children work in groups across the different ages instead of being in their usual class. They will take part in several fantastic activities throughout the day to learn more about the benefits of second hand purchasing. How can you help? We need some donations! One of the activities will be creating our own fashion, so we need donations. Do you have any clean, good quality clothing which can be re-purposed? We will be using fabric pens and making alterations to create a super dressing up costume so items will not be returned. Any left over clothing will be donated through our recycling scheme at the end of the day. All children will also need a clean plain item to use for a tie-dye session. It could be an old T-shirt, a pillowcase or even a plain pair of socks. We hope to give the item a new lease of life and it will come back to you - although you may not recognise it! Finally, we will be holding a second hand sale at the end of the day. Please visit the playground to grab some bargain books and DVDs. We would love a few parent helpers to help run the stall - please contact the office if you are available to lend a hand!
