Coppers for Kids:
Sheepscombe Primary children made every penny count when they created a
coin trail around the playground.
The 60 youngsters raised £140 to pay school fees for children in Nepal.
For the past two years, each of the three classes at Sheepscombe have
sponsored a child through the charity, Education, Protection and Help for
Children. Arjun, Nima and Monika are aged seven and their parents cannot afford
to send them to school.
Sheepscombe acting headteacher, Anne Milston, said: “The children filled
jars and pots with coppers and had a competition to see which class had
collected the most by laying out the coins in the playground.
“Class 3 won with their 23-metre long trail which stretched from the
gate across the playground and down the footpath.”
Each class has a photograph of their sponsored child and information
about them.
“The link with these children in Nepal helps our
children appreciate the wider world we live in and how other youngsters live,”
said Mrs Milston.

Willow Art: We have been awarded the prestigious
Ernest Cook Grant.
So far we have undertaken Willow
work, included
a sheep(!), with Susie Early from the village and more recently have
also
just completed a superb mural which was lead by local artist Imogen
Harvey-Lewis. Plans for the final project are underway and we will
reveal the
theme and medium as soon as it is finalised.
