YEAR 6 COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CHARITIES
AFRiL fundraising and Service Day
n As in previous years we have been supporting AFRiL (Action For Refugees in Lewisham). One of AFRiL’s initiatives is to run a supplementary school on Saturdays to help the children with their English skills so they can function better in their normal school during the week. This is called the Rainbow Club. This is where our involvement comes in. We took a group of seven pupils to the Rainbow Club to plan a sports day for their children in July. The boys worked with some of their older children to come up with a number of different activities to be run at the club’s sports day on 22ndJune. It was great to see the children chatting to each other and trying out ideas, before pooling them to come upwith a final list. Year 6, as a whole year group, went on to raise funds to support AFRiL by running stalls on the College Service Day on 28th June. The Year 6 stalls raised an impressive £1042.26 for the charity, AFRiL. This is a fantastic achievement and the money goes towards funding the Saturday School that provides fun, educational activities for refugee children in Lewisham.
