Hearts for Homes

17th December 2020Cathryn Henderson

We made lovley community links with Calf Close residential home last year when pupils from our choir visited the residents to sing Christmas songs.

This year the children participated in the Hearts for Home project. Each child designed a heart with a personal message of kindness or Seasons greeting!

Today members of our school council, delivered the hearts to our friends and wished them a Happy Christmas!
