Sleights Inspired by Hope Whitby

Hello Visitors,

Since returning to school after the Christmas break, we have been thinking about how charities help others. We had a visit from Bec at Hope Whitby this week, and we are feeling very inspired by the work of her team: providing a foodbank and warm space to Whitby and the surrounding areas.

With this is mind, we are hoping to raise awareness of this fantastic charity, and are in the process of creating newspaper reports to share with our family and Friends. 

In addition to this, our new value for this half term is ‘courage’. We are learning about courageous people in history, and the things that we can do to make a difference in the world. We seek strength from the bible quote: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1.9

We hope that you can join us in standing up for what’s right, and challenging the wrong!
