U4K Kindness Advent Calendar

Throughout December, students in U4K have been undertaking a special Advent calendar project whereby they seek to complete small acts of kindness each day. They have picked up litter, given hugs to their friends, shared smiles with passers-by, made people laugh and held doors open for people, amongst other things.

They also held a festive cake sale on Thursday 13th December and were able to raise over £100 in aid of Anti-Slavery International. You can find out more about the charity here. On Friday, they made contributions to the Foodbank collection and the School Christmas party for the elderly. The class are grateful to everyone who has supported their alternative Advent project.
