School News –
Today Alana from the NSPCC visited Brookfield again. Thank you to all the children , family and friends who helped to raise money for the NSPCC. All children were given badges today to raise further awareness about staying safe. We managed to raise £747.55! This money goes towards Childline & making sure our NSPCC ‘speak out stay safe service’ is being spread throughout the country.
Over the last two weeks, both Y5 classes were inspired by visits to the Camden Learning Centre.
