Pupils, parents and staff took time out of their half term break to come back to school on Friday (17^th Feb) to help spread a little happiness in their community. The children have been learning just how important it is to be part of a community and what they can do to make a positive difference to the people who live around them. Friday was national “Random Acts of Kindness Day” so what better day to pull on your rubber gloves and grab your litter pickers!

Mrs Longhurst said “ the children have been set a half term challenge to do a good deed for someone in their family or community and they have come up with the catchphrase for the challenge: ‘pass on the happy!’ The staff told the children that we would be picking up litter from the streets around Mandeville on Friday and we are so pleased that so many decided to join us!“
