Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year				Halloween Disco - This was our first school disco to be held in person following Covid and was very well supported by the families of the school with a large number of children attending.
				Christmas Card and Gifts, Christmas Raffle —Children across the school
				were able to create Christmas artwork to be added to cards and gifts and
				purchased. This was our second year ofdoing this project and it
				remained popular with lots ofitems being purchased again. A Christmas hamper raffle was also run which again proved very popular.
				Coin Challenge -this was an event run through the spring term with all
				classes given ajar Place coins into. At the end ofthe challenge each class used their coins to create a design oftheir choice. Winning dasses
				were chosen based on the best design and the most money raised.
				We held a full week of activities to celebrate the Jubilee. This included
				paper plate designs with winning designs copied to ceramic plates, an after school cake sale, atree planting for the Queen's Green Canopy with
				ajubilee themed raNe. ajubilee hunt around the playground and finally
				aii outside picnic with music and bubbles, All the activities (except the
				raffie) were free to join in with so everyone could take part.
				School Lottery and Amazon Smile —both ofthese ran the full year and
				provided a consistent income during the period where events were
				ddficult to facilitate.
