Child Poverty Day - Making a Difference through Music

The children had a fantastic day today. The year 3 and 4 children worked together to learn about child poverty around the world.

The day started with the children receiving a card each:

Each card included the name of a child, where the child lives and a gift that had been given to them. The children had to find other children with a similar card.

The children had a ukulele workshop. They learnt how to play Smoke on the Water. They really enjoyed themselves! The children found out that learning to play to ukulele would help to sponsor a child in need in the world.

The children worked together as a group, using the non-ficiton library and the laptops, to answer questions they had about their child. They put together a presentation to share what they had learnt about their child with the rest of Year 3 and 4.

We made a world map together and put the pictures of all the children we had learnt about on the map. We learnt that there are children living in poverty all over the world including in the UK. The children told each other how they felt grateful and lucky to come to school, have a home and lovely things to play with.
