Cafod Family Fast and St Joseph’s Penny
Last Friday Class 4 delivered an excellent CAFOD assembly about ‘Looking after our planet and green issues’. Class 3 have been raising money this week with various competitions organised by the children and class 4 will be organising events next week for this important cause. Today we dressed in green to end ‘Tree week’. The money collected is for CAFOD to remind ourselves about how we should give generously to those who need our help. When we finish our activities and fund raising I will announce the total of money raised for both Lenten charities.
