Last week, with the help of some of our fantastic parents in Year 3, the children helped to raise awareness and money for the protection of the rainforests. The money that we have raised will be donated to the Rainforest Foundation UK. Come back shortly to learn of how much the children were able to raise. Thank you to everyone who helped and donated cakes for the sale.
