WE Foundation Assembly and Workshops


This week Bannockburn was visited by Ivy, who is part of WE. WE is a charity that helps children and young people to make positive changes and take social action. 

She led an assembly at High Street where she reminded us that big changes can be made by taking small steps, and showing values like perseverance, resilience and determination.

Then she met the Rights Respecting Team at Manor Way, who (with her help) planned some social action to get people thinking and and get talking about child obesity, and how we can tackle the problem as a community. 

Next, the Helping Others Team started planning some Comic Relief activities. She inspired them with some fresh new fundraising ideas and got them to brainstorm ideas on different things we could do.

The children really enjoyed working with her and are looking forward to undertaking the social action projects soon.
