Although we weren't granted the funding this year, we decided to go ahead and celebrate British Science Week this year regardless! We looked at sports challenges and timing ourselves in the younger sessions; space travel and planets with the girls; learning about dinosaurs a long long time ago & growing up in the toddlers group and doing a few experiments on the side not related to this year's theme: Time, but just for fun. It's been a great week and very successful. We can't wait for next year! It's International School Meals Day so we're going to boast about the fantastic work our campaign group did over the last year to tackle the issue of free school meals!
Our young people wrote to supermarkets for donations to be able to provide meals over the 6 weeks holiday to 59 young people per week. They also worked with Darren from Hull Food Partnership to create their own slogan and poster for their campaign. They met with Emma Hardy MP to discuss the quality of school meals and break times and wrote to local schools to highlight issues families were experiencing around this. We've celebrated World Book Day this year by giving away books as prizes in all of our sessions, having a fortnight long book set/series sale, giving away a book with each purchase in our charity shop, and by promoting reading within the session through interactive team activities! We want our community to have the chance to discover or rediscover the joys of reading and by giving them cheap/free books it gives them an opportunity they may not have had otherwise; given how expensive books can be they're not a priority buy for many.     |
