A terrible human catastrophe is unfolding in Ukraine with Russia mercilessly bombing civilian targets. The escalating brutality has endangered the lives of close to 8 million children and already forced more than one million people to flee their home

Story

As part of our Rainforest Topic this term, the Year 5/6 pupils at St John's Primary School have become exceptionally passionate about keeping the rainforest and its wildlife safe. Because of this, we have decided we would like to fundraise so we can donate money to the World Land Trust to save parts of the rainforest! This organisation will save an acre of the rainforest for £100 and we aim to save as much of this as possible.

Alongside this, the children have also been very moved by the situation in Ukraine and would also like to be able to support refugees who are having to escape their homes due to conflict. Therefore we have also set up a page to give to Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

Whole Year Group Sponsored Walk/Run on the Downs

The Amazon river is believed to be roughly 4000 miles long. Our aim in school is to walk or run 1/10 of this length in one afternoon (this works out as 2.85 miles per child). We will be going to The Downs and walking/running a number of laps which equals this amount. The children will collect sponsorship for this event.

Please see each charity's websites below for more information on what they will do with the money raised:
