Help P1 twin a toilet!

All the classes have been finding out about the Global Goals that world leaders agreed on in 2015. P1 have been finding out about Global Goal 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation. As part of this work, we discovered that some people in other countries do not have access to toilet facilities. We found out that children often become ill because of this. We have decided to try to raise money so that we can twin our toilets and help people have access to safe sanitation, clean water and hygiene education. On Parents Evening (Thursday 10th October) we would like to ask for your support by donating to this cause. We will have a collection tin by P1’s Global Goals display board. Many thanks for your support. This week, the children found out that some people in the world can’t just turn on a tap, they need to walk to collect the water they need. We filled empty containers with water and walked for a mile carrying these containers. We found out some children have to walk for many miles every day to complete this chore and often miss school because of this!
