On Friday 24th March 2017 Sciennes celebrated Red Nose Day with a whole school Comedy Festival, designed to develop confidence in public speaking and as part of our Health and Wellbeing programme, in support of Comic Relief. We watched a film about 12 year old Hassan from Sierra Leone and found out how Comic Relief has supported him return to school following the Ebola crisis.
Generous donations and support for P6 led bake sales, friendship bracelet, bath bombs and keyring sales as well as P7 Comedy Book and Red Noses sales have helped our school community to come together to make a difference to others, in the UK and abroad. Thank you.
Some of our pupil jokers took to the stage at Assembly to share funny stories, knock-knock jokes, slapstick and one-liners. Thank you to everyone who took part and will receive a special Red Nose Day certificate next week.
Our P7 House and Sports Captains celebrated many recent pupil achievements and P7 Sports Captain, Robert, reported on recent runaway Cross Country success.
The Evening News took a photograph yesterday which is on Page 17 of today's newspaper and another photograph taken today will appear in tomorrow's edition.

53. 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
54. 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
55. 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
Notes de l'éditeur
It’s Red Nose Day 2017! We’re all going to join together – pupils, teachers, parents, comedians, celebrities – to raise money for Red Nose Day on Friday 24th March.
Show your pupils this short film about Hassan, a 12-year-old boy from Freetown in Sierra Leone, Africa. Hassan became an orphan when his mother died of Ebola. But the good news is a project funded by Red Nose Day cash is helping him. Street Child Sierra Leone has enabled Hassan to continue going to school by helping to cover his school fees and providing him with a backpack and books.
The film will help your pupils understand the challenges faced by children in Sierra Leone and how money raised for Red Nose Day helps. You should be able to stream the film from this presentation by clicking on the play button. Please ensure that external content is enabled. If you experience any problems with this you can download the film (or stream it) at rednoseday.com/hassan
What do you think would be the hardest thing about Hassan’s life?
How is money raised by Red Nose Day making a difference to Hassan?
How might going to school make a difference to his future?
As you’ve seen from the film, Red Nose Day money changes lives for the better. That’s why so many people across the UK come together to fundraise for Red Nose Day. And that’s why we’re going to do our best to raise as much money as we can.
So don’t forget – Red Nose Day will take place on Friday 24th March. Let’s all do our best to raise as much money as we can!
