On Friday 10th March we shared plans for Red Nose Day on Friday 24th March. P7s will begin selling red noses next week at £1 each and pupils will be asked to 'Stand Up for Comic Relief' by taking the mic and saying something funny as part of our whole school Comedy Festival. The P7 Comedy Book "BaDUMtsh" is currently being printed, professionally formatted and published by Sciennes' parent Mary Turner Thomson through her Whitewater Publishing Company and we will hold an official Book Launch during Assembly next week. We are delighted that much loved comedian Patrick Monahan so kindly sent a foreword for the children's book. Another celebrated Sciennes' parent, Richard Melvin, has generously offered to provide comedy workshops for P6 pupils as part of our Comedy Festival. As Fairtrade Fortnight draws to a close, Mr Hutchison and Sciennes' Pupil ECO Group held a very successful Fairtrade Craft and Tuckshop. Thank you very much to all who supported. We showed a video about Fairtrade cotton and P6 pupils Louis and Henry are planning a football match to continue to raise awareness of the Fairtrade Foundation and its aims. We sang "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and encouraged everyone to keep being kind. There has been some rough play with our loose play materials recently so pupils were encouraged to take greater care of playground equipment. Caitlin from the ECO Group encouraged everyone to keep using the Travel Tracker and reminded P4B that they are on Litter Picking Duty next week. Our House Captains did a fabulous job of presenting news and recent pupil achievements.

15. How will our money make
a difference in Africa?
Just 70p could pay
for life-saving
treatment for a
child with malaria
£4 could fully
vaccinate a child
against five deadly
childhood diseases
£150 is enough to give a
family living on a rubbish dump
in Sierra Leone a business
start-up grant and a year’s
accommodation so they can
start a new life

16. And don’t forget, the money you
raise also helps people in the UK
£100 could help a
homeless young
person get their life
back on track by
paying for a month’s
one-to-one support
£10 could enable an
isolated elderly person
in the UK with dementia
to attend a local support
group

17. Together we can
make a difference

23. Think of your fellow man,
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late,
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

24. Another day goes by,
And still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know,
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see.
Wait and see

25. Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
