Back Packs for Malawi

A couple of weeks ago we had a Scotland/Malawi day. People came in and talked to us about ways we could help charities like Mary’s Meals and Street Kids. We decided to gather in back packs. They contained things like toothbrushes, tennis ball, towel, t-shirt, pencils, paper, shoes/trainers, toys and good condition clothes you might not need now, books, plastic cups.

Our teacher and Mrs Craig our DHT put out letters and talked to us at assembly/star of the week. We let all the classes know what to bring. Today is collection day. Crosshouse have been collecting too so the van has visited them and then has come here.

We have collected  73 full backpacks. Any extra things we put inside new bags.

Hi world! Castlefield P7 here!

We are going to be be writing about life in P7 at Castlefield. We are doing a rich task in January. It’s going to be about the life, culture and civilisation of Malawi. Our teacher visited Malawi in the summer just past. She went on a study leave. All the other primaries beside ours will also be doing this. At the end of the rich task we are going to write our own books about Malawi!
