Italian Day in Mr. Owens' class

Last Friday 25th November in Mr Owens' class we celebrated Italy.
After learning about Italy for the past 2 weeks it was great to have loads of yummy Italian food for our lunch!

Christmas Shoe Box Appeal in Mr Owens' 2nd class

Here in Mr Owens' 2nd class we completed the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal whereby we gave lovely gifts to children in poorer countries that wouldn't otherwise receive any Christmas presents.

It is an initiative that has touched the hearts of many and one I feel is very special.

There are many videos online of children receiving their shoe box presents and to say that these videos are moving and overwhelming is an understatement.

Once we wrapped the shoe boxes with Christmas wrapping paper we brought in items to fill our shoe boxes.

Examples of things that we put into our boxes included: toys, pencils, pens, colouring books, a small doll, a picture of ourselves, sweets, and sanitation items.

Thank you to all the parents/guardians that helped with this appeal.

The videos of children receiving their presents and more information can be found at:
