On Thursday 7th July, fifty eight Year 6 pupils and 7 staff helpers undertook a NINE MILE walk to raise much needed funds for the Two Saints Homeless Charity. Starting from school, quiet roads were followed before they moved onto the Berewood Trail at Purbrook. This was where the main distance was laid down, walking past Berewood Primary before stopping at the picnic tables near the entrance to the Berewood Estate for lunch. We were met at this point by Rachel Mason from the charity who thanked the children and provided support in the form of sweets! The route then took the children to its furthest point, the park off Darnel Road. Despite having covered six miles at this point, they spent a very energetic ten minutes ridding themselves of all excess energy they may have had.
Needless to say, the walk home was a lot quieter!
At the moment, the total that has been raised through donations from friends and family is a staggering £1,554 (including gift aid). This will make a huge difference to the homeless community in our local area – a great cause for the Year Six Stewardship Project.

A tired but satisfied bunch!
Have a restful weekend.
