Year 5 Pupils Show They Care This Christmas

At the end of last term Year 5 wrote Christmas cards to send to lonely elderly people from the charity, Contact the Elderly.

The children were inspired to write the cards after studying the John Lewis advert with the motto: ‘Show someone they're loved this Christmas’.

Contact the Elderly guests said they loved receiving the Christmas cards from the children and enjoyed writing back to the pupils.

The Year 5 children were really pleased with the responses they received from the elderly people. Year 5 pupil Emily Maughan commented: "I didn’t expect to get a response, but it was really thoughtful that Peggy sent me a card back. I hope she had a lovely Christmas".

Miss S Young said: "I am really proud of the children for writing such lovely, thoughtful cards and recognising that Christmas is as much a time for giving as it is for receiving".

Well done to all the pupils involved!
