Room 6’s compassion project

Mon Dec 04 12:57am

In Room 6 we are learning all about our School’s current value; compassion. We know compassion means to be kind and helpful to others. Alongside the Fern’s team we are also looking at celebrations. We discovered all celebrations involve people and most celebrations involve food. Our teacher told us that unfortunately, some people go without food at Christmas. So we would like to collect a big box of food to give to the local food bank to help those people have a fabulous Christmas too. Please help us in Room 6 by bringing in some food to add to our box.Thank you!


Warm Regards,


Room 6 & Mrs Larrissa Robertson
